Before moving to Dubai, Raquel worked with a law firm and Municipal Trial Court in the Philippines. Her experience in these roles provided her with a strong foundation in legal practices and procedures, which has been invaluable in her work as a paralegal with Trench & Associates DMCC. Raquel’s commitment to providing high-quality legal support and her attention to detail make her a valuable member of the team.
