At 13, Candice Tan's parents made the big decision to move the family from Singapore to Australia in the hope of giving Candice a more well rounded education. A high school work experience stint with the astrophysics department at Swinburne University that turned into a six year commitment sparked Candice's interest in science. But her love for books and philosophy lead Candice to pursue a Juris Doctor degree. After practicing commercial and construction litigation and arbitration in big law for four years, Candice was suddenly hit with physical illness and was advised by her GP to take a career break. During this time she seeked out blogs online from other lawyers who have gone through a similar experience and saw that there was a gap. Candice vowed that when she is on the other side of her healing that she would create a blog to help others who needed it. Candice now works as a lawyer in government and Legal Brew was born with the hope to make a difference in her chosen industry.
