Overview
My role was to work within a case team and provide assistance on ongoing regulatory cases. I provided paralegal support to several cases which involved proofreading and checking documents, inputting data, organising information requirement responses, helping create chronologies, and creating spreadsheets to organise and input information. I also carried out analysis tasks such as reviewing evidence and creating reports relevant to the case.
Skills
I developed my excel skills as it was frequently used in my role. I also developed my technical skills for organisation specific systems. I improved my teamwork and communication skills working in a professional team. I also gained forensic analysis skills
Responsibilities

Culture
