Millers Inc Legal Associate
May. 2016 - Mar. 2018George, Western Cape, South AfricaI was employed as a litigation attorney in one of George's biggest and busiest law firms. During my time at Millers, my own practice was largely focused on collections, divorces and evictions. However, as the most junior associate I was required to attend to any matters that my senior colleagues needed. This largely meant that I would perform duties as my Director's professional assistant. Through my director I gained experience in various civil litigation matters, mostly focused on third party claims and divorces. Besides further developing and improving on the skills that I started to acquire during my articles, I learnt how to find my place in a big office and how to become a member of a team within a department. Very quickly after I started at the firm, I was drafted into the bowls team, which had a lot of pressure to perform well in the local business league. As the only English speaker in the litigation department, I was tasked with proof reading documents and adjudicating on grammar-based arguments.
