Congratulations on your new role, what are you looking
forward to the most?
Thank you! I am really looking forward to working with the team at
Quinn Legal, facing fresh opportunities and supporting new
clients.
Any advice for people looking to work in this area of
business?
If you're considering a career in law, whether as an advocate,
paralegal or in an administrative role, try and get as much work
experience at local law firms as possible. Also spend time
observing as many court matters as you can - these are open to the
public to view during the day and will help you to learn how the
Island's judicial system works.
In such a role, what strengths would you say are
needed?
To be a Manx Advocate, I would say that the most important
strengths are being approachable, clear and empathetic to clients,
as well as being able to stay calm under pressure and work in an
organised manner.
Any technology you personally couldn't live
without?
Definitely my phone! While at work I couldn't live without emails
either, it's a very useful way to communicate with colleagues and
clients.
Outside of work, how do you like to
relax?
When I'm away from the office I love baking cakes and experimenting
in the kitchen with new recipes.
