Max Nugent

Paralegal

Max

Max joined KJS as a Paralegal for the family law team in Southampton. No two days are the same; he carries out different daily tasks, including attending court, drafting letters of advice, liaising with clients, and participating in law society dinners.

Max helps to advise and empower clients on different aspects of their unique matters, ranging from time scales, cost-efficient initiatives, and correspondence with the other side. He applies his clear and empathetic approach to all clients he liaises with, ensuring they are well-informed and understood.

He tackles tasks head-on using the transferable skills he has acquired through his position at Charter House School, including working as a team and managing a range of responsibilities.

Max has worked on his personal development throughout his time at KJS, working on communication skills, time management, and delegation.

After finishing his studies in Surrey, he is now enjoying working alongside the Southampton team while undertaking his SQE exams.

Max is based at our Southampton office.
