Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

I love how client-facing employment law is. Even as a relatively junior person in the team, I regularly meet clients via video conferences and in person.

I generally work in a team, working with more senior lawyers in the group. But I also am very well supported and supervised to take on more responsibility on smaller matters.

I completed G+T’s clerkship program in Melbourne and was offered a graduate position afterwards. My current specialisation is C+R.

The coolest thing about my job is that I am able to do an overseas secondment, which involves working for a different office in a different country. This allows me to travel a bit while working in a new environment.

I’m often asked to assist by conducting research into niche areas of law, preparing correspondence and attending client meetings and court.

Being a part of these types of agreements is a highly rewarding process, especially when a matter concludes after months of negotiation and hard work.

As a clerk, paralegal and then graduate entering the legal market, I was excited to get into work at HSF and frustrated at the many stumbling blocks that would pop up along the way.
