This mindset not only enhances the quality of her work but also contributes to the warm, supportive atmosphere we strive to maintain at Max Engel.

She is due to graduate in 2026 and plans to continue her professional development by undertaking the SQE1 and SQE2, with the aim of qualifying as a Solicitor. Adaptable and eager to learn, Jade is keen to expand her knowledge and take on new challenges as her career progresses, making her a promising talent in the legal field. We look forward to supporting Jade as she develops her skills and advances in her career. Her presence at Max Engel is a testament to our commitment to nurturing new talent and providing our clients with a dynamic, forward-thinking legal team.
Outside of work and her studies, Jade is committed to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. She regularly attends the gym and practises Pilates, both of which help her stay focused and disciplined in her day-to-day life.
