WILLS and estate lawyer Ashilpa Khanna, from Capon and Hubert Lawyers and Mediators, says she’s proud to represent a law firm with a work culture that’s both professional and supportive.

“Capon and Hubert is one of the very few firms in Canberra which works like a tight knit family,” says Ashilpa.

“Most of our staff have been working here for over four years including myself and some for as long as eight to 14 years.”

“I think that speaks volumes in terms of the management and directors we have – a very supportive work culture which can be rare in this competitive industry. 

Having always had an interest in law growing up, Ashilpa’s career has seen her work as a paralegal as well as practicing in areas of civil litigation and migration law, but wills and estate law holds a “particular place in her work life.”

“Wills and estate law is a vast area which can involve anything from drafting documents to running contentious claims in the court so you get a feel of all sides of the practice,” she says,

“There’s also superannuation, an area of law which is evolving rapidly.”

When it comes to pursuing business as a young woman, Ashilpa says diligence is key no matter what the field.

“It pays to learn from those who are much more experienced in the community,” she says.

“There is no end to learning and working at perfecting your knowledge and skills.”
