Presently I am on rotation in Insurance WA. My role has been diverse with a range of tasks. While I have had to undertake my share of less-enjoyable tasks, I have also had the opportunity to complete many tasks which I believe more senior lawyers would normally complete and for this reason I have found the work to be empowering and interesting. I believe the responsibility I carry as a Law Graduate is appropriate.

I'm in a transactional and advisory practice. My work has gotten more complex over time. Initially I was doing proofreading, comparing and summarising transactional documents, and other paralegal type tasks. Now I do the first draft of advices, agreements (including drafting of bespoke clauses) and occasionally some urgent research, but still get the smaller paralegal type tasks here and there which are good for balancing out your day. I am also working on a big innovation/ tech project with the support staff and partner of my team.
