Jessica Beare

I am a motivated and hard working employee with almost 20 years of legal assistant experience.

My experiences as a Legal Assistant have given me the ability to cope well with high stress situations and manage a variety of projects simultaneously while producing quality work. I exhibit superior organizational skills with the capability to work independently or as part of a team in order to meet rigid time constraints. I consistently present a strong work ethic and take pride in myself and my work.

As the first point of contact at the Durham Community Legal Clinic and at Gowling WLG, I displayed excellent interpersonal skills and judgement to communicate with a diverse range of clients amongst the vulnerable population. Discretion and confidentiality was of the utmost importance.

I welcome the opportunity to elaborate on how I could make a substantial contribution to your law firm. Thank you for your time and courtesy in considering this material.
