Rijas R.

Petra is a successful team player who enjoys working with others; she is an outgoing person who enjoys the team spirit and also understands others requirement. Her result driven attitude makes her good at helping the team to see the bigger picture – to see the wood from the trees – helping them to focus on what really matters rather than getting bogged down in irrelevant detail. She is good at helping the team to spot flaws in our approach to the contracts. Petra has strong communication skills and she is multilingual. Petra is talented in liaising between different team members and external departments authorities to resolve any disputes which may arise. Her conflict resolving skills makes her a gem for our commercial and project management team members, as internal conflicts is rarely very productive and is normally best avoided. I wish her all the best for her future endeavours.

Petra is a highly-skilled lawyer who is very passionate about her work. She is hard-working, patient, and always willing to help her colleagues. She learns quickly and never backs down from a challenge. No matter how hard or complicated a problem may be, she always tries her best to find a solution for it. She is a great asset to both her colleagues in the Legal team, and to other departments. I would highly recommend her to any employer.
