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

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.

As a junior lawyer in the Corporate Transactions team, I have the responsibility of drafting a variety of transaction, ASX, ASIC, and FIRB documents, as well as undertaking legal research and due diligence.

If you make a mistake - acknowledge it, accept responsibility for your error, learn from it and move on. Don’t let the mistake crush your confidence in moving forwards and future decision making.

JWS has a high partner to lawyer ratio, allowing me to learn and work with senior lawyers with great experience in their fields.
