My First Month at NLS

My First Month at NLS

I was excited to start my journey at NLS in December 2024. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel part of the team. If I had any questions, my colleagues were kind enough to answer my queries despite their busy days. I was delighted to meet the team and the CEO Jon Chappell in my first week. The HR team provided in-depth induction training, allowing me to be well-equipped to do my job. I was amazed by the swift response from IT with any issues, they were so helpful throughout; whether it involved a simple fix or a complicated issue they were always there to help. Furthermore, I was provided with the requisite training for Peppermint, a system NLS uses for file storage. The training was clear and concise, and I left the training feeling confident. I felt extremely positive in my first week and supported every step of the way. The week provided a great opportunity to get an overview of the firm.

From the second week onwards, I started attending Court, something I am passionate about. In the past, I have represented clients requiring assistance with domestic abuse and private children matters. The hearings I covered consisted of complex private children matters with domestic abuse backgrounds. As per clients’ instructions, I gave submissions to the Court on behalf of my client. Understandably the client was extremely upset, she trusted me to put forward her position to the Court. As a result, we were able to successfully obtain the desired outcome, the client was delighted and expressed her gratitude – moments like this remind me of why I love what I do and the impact my work is having on people’s lives.

A big credit goes to my supervisor for the trust he had put in me during the start of my role by providing me with referrals as I was keen to build up my own caseload, having come from a busy firm. He has provided me with the necessary tools and guidance for me to carry out my role to the best of my ability, making the transition into my new role smooth and easy.

I look forward to seeing how my role at NLS develops in the future.

I would like to thank the team at NLS for their continued support.
