This week we were fortunate to have Hazel Mathieson (Legal Executive) and Charlotte Perkins (Senior Associate Lawyer) from Corcoran French Lawyers formerly Hannan & Seddon.

Hazel talked about her pathway into Law and completing a Diploma of Conveyancing and Legal Executive Diploma all whilst working full time.

Charlotte attended Otago University where she gained a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts, she then started a job in Christchurch before settling down in Greymouth.

They talked in depth about the work that they do, what they enjoy about their jobs and the differences between a Lawyer and Legal Executive.

There were some great questions asked by the students. Thank you to Charlotte and Hazel for taking time out of your day to come and talk to us.
