Sarah Smith: Admission as a Solicitor

Sarah Smith of our Cannonvale office was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland in Townsville on Friday 7th February 2014. Sarah’s parents are Lex and Gayle Hinschen of Proserpine where Sarah attended the local State High School graduating in 2004.

Sarah studied for her Law degree at Bond University and graduated in 2008. Sarah married Brett in 2009 and in 2010 completed the Practical Legal Training course through the Queensland University of Technology whilst working at the Gold Coast firm Milne Lawyers.

Sarah started working as a trainee solicitor at Macrossan & Amiet’s Cannonvale office in 2011 having performed work experience there during her first year of university studies in 2005. Whilst completing her training at Macrossan & Amiet, Sarah has also managed to study secondary teaching part time and she and husband Brett had their first child, Indianna, born in April 2013.

Sarah is now pregnant with her second child but is keen to recommence her legal career hopefully in 2015. Macrossan & Amiet’s Cannonvale Director, Andrew Telford, travelled to Townsville to move Sarah’s admission and expressed his relief that Sarah had persevered and gained her admission to the delight of her family and friends and work colleagues alike. Sarah is interested in family law and has considerable experience in commercial leasing as well as wills and estates.

Well done Sarah!
