Erin shares how the Administration Assistant role set her up for her move into a Paralegal role with Murdoch Lawyers.
"Beginning my career in the legal industry as an Administration Assistant with Murdoch Lawyers has given me a great foundation to how to interact with clients, how the firm operates and it has helped me find the area of law I want to practice in. It also helped me develop connections with our team members in all areas of law, which has strengthened my connections as a family law paralegal."
