What were you doing before you joined JMK?
I joined Jonathan McKeown Solicitors shortly after completing a 3 year law degree at Queens University Belfast in 2007. My first role with the firm was as an office clerk. I then received further training within the firm and subsequently worked as a Legal Secretary and Legal Executive before completing my Apprenticeship with the firm, qualifying as a Solicitor in 2010.

Why did you decide to join JMK?
I was eager to join a dynamic, forward thinking practice which truly cared about and invested in its staff both personally and in terms of their career development.

What are you working on now?
Currently I am working within the Litigation department of the firm specialising in road traffic accident litigation and personal injury litigation at a County Court and High Court level. I also have a part time role within the IT Department of the firm overseeing the development and improvement of our case management system. 

What has been the most rewarding aspect about working for JMK?
The chance to develop my skills in a fast paced, interesting environment where my colleagues are both approachable and  truly experts in their fields.
