HAIDAR HAIDAR

Arncliffe

Summary

I am a committed and dedicated student currently pursuing the final year of my Bachelor of Laws degree at Macquarie University. Presently, I work as a Law Clerk in criminal defence with sole practitioner, Rayan Kadadi, at Kadadi and Co Lawyers.


I am frequently relied upon to perform substantive and urgent tasks in a high-pressure environment. I benefit from a natural and innate desire to advocate for individuals facing adversity, and thrive on the intellectual and emotional challenges of criminal defence. I possess an inherent readiness to take on tasks, acquire knowledge and skills, work effectively with peers, and find solutions to challenges as they arise. I am eagerly seeking opportunities to cultivate my personal and professional growth in the legal domain.
