Law firm's first Trident student promoted to Junior Paralegal

Wednesday 11 January 2023

Katie de Andrade has been promoted to Junior Paralegal at law firm Corbett Le Quesne.

Miss de Andrade’s first experience of law was as Corbett Le Quesne’s first Trident student in 2018. She joined the firm last January and has recently started studying towards a degree at the Institute of Law.

She said: “I have been interested in law since I was very young. I used to watch a Portuguese series called Inspector Max and watching them work inspired me. 

“At first this meant I wanted to become a police officer but as I got older I started considering other options including law. Working at Corbett Le Quesne and helping clients has confirmed that this is definitely what I want to do.

"I am studying now and hope to become an Advocate before I am 30.”

Advocate Nicholas Le Quesne said: “Katie has been invaluable assisting with Portuguese clients in particular and she has been promoted to Junior Paralegal to reflect the work she is now doing. Katie is very good with clients and is keen to learn.

"She particularly loves going to court and I am sure she will make an excellent advocate one day.”
