Prosple Profiles

We're in the due diligence phase of a deal that we've been working on, so I'm preparing the Legal Due Diligence Report.

This week, I have been undertaking an audit for a multinational company based in India, where I am testing the company's internal controls and accounts for revenue and expenses.

Tasks like this are time consuming, but rewarding.  I even get a “great work” email from the Senior Associate I am helping.

The opportunity to do pro bono work and help vulnerable members of the community is a really rewarding part of my role at Ashurst, so I always make sure to put my hand up to help out when I have the capacity.

After dropping off, I head to work. I’m usually in by 8, which means it's time for toast and a cup of tea. While I enjoy this, I chat with our other early birds and set myself up at my desk. I sort through emails and write out an agenda for my day, which helps me stay on track and lets me know if I need to hunt for more work!
