Katelyn Gillert, graduate in our commercial team, has worked with Cooper Grace Ward for just over 12 months. We asked her to tell us in her own words what life at Cooper Grace Ward is like, and a few of her past experiences and favourite things.
I can’t point to a particular time where I decided I wanted to be a lawyer. However, there was always something so prestigious and distinguished about the law and I think I’ve loved it for a long time. It’s not an easy career, even from the very first day of university. But nothing worth achieving ever comes easy. I guess I like a challenge.
I have been with Cooper Grace Ward for 1 year now in the Corporate Commercial team. Before joining Cooper Grace Ward, I was with another law firm in the city for 4 years working primarily in the Wills & Estate space.
Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge – her sense of fashion is incredible and I’m a huge royal fan.
Ed Sheeran – every party needs great music.
Heston Blumenthal – you would never be quite sure what we’re eating, but I bet it would be amazing.
Mr Percival’s on the new Howard Smith Wharves for drinks with a great view.
Mr Chester Wine Bar in the Valley does fantastic food – the interior design and aesthetic is also amazing!
Back yourself – you are more capable than you know.
Trying a new breakfast spot on the weekend or baking the trickiest recipe in a cook book.
If food was hobby, that would be mine.
In the airforce. I had some exposure to the air cadet program through my high school. I have always had a great deal of interest in, and respect for, our defence force.
The uncertainty in the lead up to a federal election has an impact on both our clients and the law firms who represent them. The second half of this year could be a season of change and busyness.
I love that I am continually learning something new. That feeling of finally understanding a concept, or a complex situation, is hard to top. I also love that we are fiercely loyal to our clients in the pursuit of what is best for them. Knowing that my training, education and experience will be exactly what someone else needs to navigate a stressful situation is incredibly rewarding.
I got married in 2015 at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
