Mitchell Bailey
ADAMSTOWN,NSW
Summary
A motivated legal professional with experience in commercial and property law, skilled in risk assessment, problem-solving, and clear communication of complex legal matters. I want to help Australia in the work I do, and the expanding Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) obligations in the legal sector has strengthened my interest in combating organised crime. I excel in making decisions within strict timeframes and balancing competing interests, ensuring effective and practical outcomes. I am seeking to apply my attention to detail, analytical thinking, and strong communication skills in the 2026 AFP Graduate Program.
