Based on my experience, I believe I would excel in criminal law and family law. During my time at Ruane & Co. Solicitors and Michael Kelleher Solicitors, I gained hands-on experience in criminal law, particularly in defense and legal aid cases, working on complex matters such as property disputes, grievous bodily harm, and sexual abuse cases.

I developed key skills in conducting detailed legal research, preparing court documents, and assisting during trials. Additionally, my role at Little Learners allowed me to build strong organizational and interpersonal skills while working with children and families, which has given me a unique perspective and makes me well-suited for family law, particularly in cases involving child advocacy and sensitive family matters.
