A Day in the Life at wilson/ryan/grose Lawyers

Getting into work that little bit earlier allows me to get up to date with any emails that have come in overnight or over the weekend and plan my day.

The afternoon is spent researching, reviewing client material, and drafting documents. Following on from the initial appointment this morning, my afternoon is spent drafting cost documents and an initial letter of advice.

Our firm runs an in-house mentoring program where junior solicitors meet monthly with a Partner who acts as their mentor and go through a strategic agenda which assists us with our personal and professional development.

I receive a new task for a Planning and Environment matter. The task involves writing a letter in response to a Council considering that some development approvals have lapsed.

Most mornings begin with emails, following up on tasks, making phone calls and planning out my day.

I had a quick meeting with a client to sign some documents and discuss the steps moving forward for the purchase of their Property.  

I have a quick catchup with my workgroup partner regarding any file questions I have. We have an open-door policy so it is quick and easy to ask questions during the day.
