Over the years, we’ve built strong working relationships grounded in trust and reliability. As an assistant, I’m always approachable and aim to provide solutions quickly and effectively.

A trusted final check

As an assistant to around five lawyers, I play a key role in supporting their fast-paced and varied work. My responsibilities include handling incoming and outgoing correspondence, managing deadlines, preparing briefs, and verifying brief data. This final review is crucial – I’m the last person to check the accuracy of documents before they’re submitted or sent out.

I feel fully involved in the team’s work – my input is valued, and I actively contribute to decision-making. Ongoing training and development have played an important part in my journey. In addition to a range of training modules, I also took part in a Freshfields seminar for assistants, which supported my continued growth.

Professional development is vital to the way we collaborate and helps me broaden my perspective.
