Bio
Shirees Patrick
I had the pleasure of working with De Niro on a recent correspondent attorney basis. Throughout our interaction, he continuously displayed professionalism in his work and took great care of the matters entrusted to him. De Niro will be a great addition to any legal team, he brings with him unwavering dedication and an unmatched sense of style too!
LinkedIn User
When I started to engage with De Niro during our studies and at various campus forums, I immediately realised that this young gentleman would go on to make a significant difference in many people's lives - he has good work ethic, thinks critically about all challenges, has exceptional communication skills, functions as a solution driven individual, and engages in healthy debate about critical issues and current affairs in an open, transparent and respectful manner. In my view, these are all valuable traits that any company or firm requires of a critical thinker, stellar employee and ultimately, good leader.

This was a fairly new portfolio in the organisation and is thus open to development. Personally I have developed the portfolio by starting to write a series of articles for our branch so as to encourage critical thinking.Subsequently I was chosen as one of the editors for the Black Lawyers Association Student Chapter website. In this role I edited and published articles on the organisational website and encouraged our members to do the same.In addition to these duties there are also duties that have been developed by my predecessor. This includes inter alia, working alongside our Media and Publications Officer and Events and Planning Coordinator to host events and secure guests for these events. Show less
