Hi, I’m
Paria Abbasi
Melbourne,VIC
Summary
I have worked as a lawyer for almost 4 years and have a Master's Degree in Criminal Law, demonstrating a deep knowledge of legal issues related to criminal offences. In addition, I am currently studying compliance at Monash University, as I am interested in understanding regulatory and compliance topics in various industries.
My experience as a lawyer and my education in Law and compliance provides a strong foundation for pursuing a career in compliance, risk management or consulting. Also, after years of studying and working, I understand legal and regulatory issues that can be valuable for employers. Due to the breadth of laws, I have always tried to research and update to help clients with the knowledge and skills I have acquired.
