You will research complex legal issues, review any associated legal documentation, and order the information acquired in terms of importance, value and relevance to the case. You will maintain data recording and filing systems, storing personal details under GDPR guidelines, and be able to draft accurate legal documents of your own for your clients to use when pursuing a solution to a problem.
