Chloe Robertson

I am a client-focused legal graduate with hands-on experience in family law, emotional advocacy, and retail environments that demand empathy, adaptability, and grace under pressure. Throughout university, I balanced academic study with consistent work at Sainsbury’s, honing my ability to navigate complex conversations and meet people where they are. I bring emotional intelligence to every interaction, whether supporting vulnerable clients in legal clinics or retail environments. 

Currently seeking junior paralegal or office assistant roles where I can contribute meaningfully, grow professionally, and continue learning new skills.

During my law degree, I gained hands-on experience across legal clinics, workshops, and advocacy initiatives. As a Legal Assistant at Leeds Beckett Law Clinic, I interviewed clients on sensitive family law matters, conducted research using Westlaw and LexisPSL, and drafted tailored advice letters, all while managing case files in Clio and collaborating with supervisors to produce pragmatic legal documents, as well as general administrative tasks like.

I deepened my commercial awareness through a workshop with Squire Patton Boggs, where I analysed investment strategies and presented stakeholder-focused solutions to senior lawyers. At Hawkswell Kilvington, I applied construction law principles in a simulated dispute, earning praise for concise communication and evidence-based negotiation.

As a Street Law volunteer, I led an internet-safety workshop for teenagers, adapting legal concepts into engaging, age-appropriate content and fostering interactive dialogue with empathy and clarity.
