Summary
William Cook is a litigation technology paralegal and multidisciplinary student in Melbourne combining nine years of practical experience across legal tech, community growth and student engagement. Currently supporting class action teams with eDiscovery and data management at Slater and Gordon while completing a dual Bachelor of Laws and Cyber Security, he bridges legal processes and technical solutions. He also leads a Generative AI project at Deakin, translating policy, pedagogy and student needs into practical tools—evidence of his ability to coordinate cross-functional stakeholders and secure grant funding. A former founder and growth lead who scaled online communities to 80,000+ members, he brings entrepreneurial drive and hands-on operations experience to institutional settings. Unusually for a paralegal, he pairs legal training with applied cyber security study and frontline event, welfare and mentoring roles, making him adept at technical problem-solving and people-focused delivery.
