Associate Attorney

• Jan 2017 - Apr 2020

As a burgeoning commercial attorney, I am a strong believer in daily personal and professional growth. My primary area of practice is in the distressed business space, being Insolvency, Business Rescue and Turnaround but our current focus is assisting start-ups to put the right contracts in place from the outset to mitigate the risks of business in the current climate. Since my days as a candidate attorney, I took an interest in the nuts and bolts of running the firm, which has given me a unique perspective on legal practice. Being in a niche firm has assisted my development greatly as I've had great exposure to the industry in a condensed time period. Show less
