Emily Tierney
Legal Assistant
All Australians should feel as though their case is in safe hands, so I make it my goal to help my clients feel whole-heartedly welcomed and respected.
My decision to start a career in law was sparked by a desire to help others in my community. After taking legal studies in high school, I realised I could use my knowledge of the legal system to assist people with empathy and dedication within a law career.
Personal injury law interests me as the field is built around helping others. Being able to see the difference you can make to someone’s life, especially as they’re going through a difficult period, is so rewarding. It encourages me to provide the best possible support and care to my clients to ensure their comfort and peace of mind.
Career highlight:
My career highlight was the day I received my offer to study my dream double degree: a Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Communications (Social and Political Science) at UTS. It was a sign that everything I’ve been working towards was falling into place and made me so excited to start a new chapter in my life.
In my own time:
Outside of the office you can find me either watching Formula One, attending a live music event, watching NRL, or binge-watching television with my friends and family. I also love to try out new restaurants and cafes.
