What is one legal myth that you’d love to dispel?
“A Pre-Nuptial Agreement is a persuasive document and is not legally binding!”
What made you want to work in your sector?
“I wanted to pursue a career in law due to the challenging but rewarding nature of the job. Being a solicitor requires critical thinking, analysing complex issues and finding a solution that not only fits within the legal framework but also works for the client. No two days look the same and I enjoy every aspect of being a solicitor including giving advice to clients, carrying out legal research, drafting legal documents and representing clients at court hearings. Working in law is extremely fulfilling and pushes me to grow and develop my skillset every day.”
