Biography
I am a fully qualified Chartered Legal Executive in the serious injury team based in Birmingham.
I joined the firm through a slightly different route and started out as a Paralegal Apprentice at just 18 years old, I then went on to the Chartered Legal Executive apprenticeship which I completed in August 2023.
The team I am in deals with very serious and life changing injuries including spinal injuries, brain injuries and multiple orthopaedic injuries. I get involved with all of these types of cases and work closely with my colleagues when assisting them.
What Inspired You To Get Into Law?
I studied law for the first time at A level from when I was 16-18 years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was completely different to anything I had ever studied before, and I really liked the real-life aspect to it; things that I was being taught were actually relevant whilst also being incredibly interesting. It was then that I decided I would enjoy a career in law.
What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?
The most rewarding aspect of my job role is seeing the clients happy. I often speak to clients whether over the telephone, via email or in face-to-face meetings and you really build up a relationship with them over the years as their case progresses.
It's very rewarding to finally settle their case and provide them with the money they deserve as you know it will make such a big difference to their lives.
What Do You Like About Working At Irwin Mitchell?
One of the best things about working at Irwin Mitchell is the friendliness of the staff. I was only 18 when I started working here and was very nervous; however, everyone was incredibly welcoming and made me feel very comfortable almost immediately.
The support I have received over the years has been incredible and I know I can turn to any one of my colleagues if I am struggling.
What Do You Do Away From The Office?
When I am away from the office, I enjoy reading a variety of books from fiction to research books which allow me to keep my workplace knowledge up to date. I also enjoy socialising with my friends and meeting new people.
