  I very much enjoyed my short time at North Yorkshire Law working in the Conveyancing Department. I carried out a wide variety of tasks such as file opening, inputting searches, AML checks and typing letters. I also communicated with estate agents and clients via email and telephone to provide updates. As this was my first legal position since graduating, I carried out a variety of administrative duties assisting the fee earner where required. After completion, I was responsible for post completion formalities such as paying the relevant Stamp Duty and registering the land with HM Land Registry. I look forward to expanding my knowledge in a similar role in the future in order to progress my career further.

• Work Experience

  • Aug 2017 - Aug 2017

  I attended 3 days’ work experience at Pinkney Grunwells during the Summer of 2017. During this time, I shadowed various legal professionals in different departments. I gained an insight into the areas of conveyancing, civil litigation, family law and wills and probate. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to sit in on a new client interview in the context of civil litigation. This demonstrated one of the many problems that a client may face and the best way to initially advise a client to try and solve any queries. In the Family Law department, I was given an opportunity to look through a previous case file. I found this interesting to see how a legal file should be organised and the extent of the cases that a solicitor could be expected to handle.
