Ellie Walker is a Paralegal at Melino Legal and currently in the final year of her law degree, having recently completed a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Criminology. She joined the firm as a law clerk in 2022 and has quickly become a trusted pair of eyes across drafting, trial preparation and the detail that keeps matters moving. Organised, sharp and highly detail-focused, Ellie is often the person the team turns to for a second opinion, a final check or simply to bounce an idea around.

A high achiever by nature, Ellie was Dux of her high school and admits she’s competitive, doesn’t particularly enjoy losing and likes making mistakes even less. She particularly values working alongside Tahlia and Karmilla and the experience she’s gaining ahead of admission to practise.

Outside work, Ellie enjoys getting out with her dog, watching local sport and disappearing into a good crime series or true crime documentary. She’s also only just discovered coffee and currently requires a vanilla latte to ease her into it.

Welcome to the world of coffee, Ellie. We’ll give it time.
