Llewellyn Stevens
Professional Legal Assistant
10101 The Huntsman, Macassar Road, Somerset West
Summary
I am a well-organised, self-motivated, hard-working and committed individual looking for a full time opportunity within a dynamic firm. I am hoping to utilise my vast knowledge within a law firm, and my skillset and time management abilities learnt from serving as a non-executive director, to be of service. I enjoy challenges and work well under pressure. I am a logical thinker, yet I am eager to learn and reconsider ways of thinking. I believe this, in particular, enables me to be a great team player. I have proven leadership skills and I am dedicated to maintaining high quality standards.
