Who are you and what makes you unique in the<br />
industry<br />
At Shine we have the opportunity to stand up for those<br />
who have been wronged and make a genuine difference<br />
in people’s lives. This is a privilege and something we<br />
remember every day.<br />
We’re not your typical law firm, we take what we do<br />
very seriously, but not ourselves. We are not a<br />
traditional law firm, just everyday people doing<br />
extraordinary things for others. We passionately<br />
believe in our clients, and we quietly believe in<br />
ourselves. We are always professional, we work hard,<br />
but always have fun along the way.<br />
At Shine <strong>Law</strong>yers we always stand up for the little guy.<br />
We protect the rights of the individual and we give a<br />
voice to those who would otherwise be unheard. We<br />
value justice and equality and believe that every<br />
client’s story deserves to be told.<br />
We are not your typical law firm. At Shine we dare to<br />
be different. We take a unique approach to our work<br />
and challenge the norms of the ‘traditional law firm.’<br />
We look at things differently and take what others see<br />
as impossible as an opportunity.<br />
We stay ahead of the pack and invest in the growth and<br />
expansion of our business. We value the personal<br />
growth and development of our people. We believe<br />
that our team is only as strong as each individual’s<br />
commitment to making a difference.<br />
