Laura McCrohon (苍茅别 Vatovec)

Solicitor, Maguire & McInerney Lawyers

Back in her 2008 student profile (see below), Laura confessed to being a 鈥渂it of a talker鈥� and 鈥渓iking a good argument鈥�. Two reasons why she felt a law career might be a good match. Turns out, she was right.

After graduating with two Bachelor degrees, Laura started working at the Child Support Agency in litigation. She then gained experience in employment law at the Australian Workers Union and family law at local 精东传媒 law firms, obtaining her Specialist Accreditation in Family Law in the process. Laura then moved to Maguire & McInerney in 2016.

After gaining a broad range of experience in her professional career already, her advice to those thinking of studying at university follows the same ethos.

鈥淭ry different areas,鈥� she says. 鈥淒on鈥檛 be miserable and feel you are stuck. Uni has so many options you probably don鈥檛 know about when you are at school.鈥�

While it may not be her 2008 dream job of working for the United Nations, Laura has ultimately found a profession where she can make a difference.

鈥淚 love the autonomy of my job, but also the fantastic team I have around me,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 feel that I can make a difference in people鈥檚 lives and help them through a really tough time.鈥�

Looking forward another ten years, Laura wants to stay open to any possibility.

鈥淲ho knows?鈥� she says. 鈥淧ossibly owning my own firm, or maybe a career change. I like that feeling of not being tied down, and knowing there are plenty of opportunities ahead of me.鈥�
