Amy Miller
Glasgow
Summary
As a 4th-year law student with a strong interest in intellectual property law, corporate law, and contracts, I have developed a solid foundation of legal knowledge through my academic studies and hands-on experience. My dissertation explores the intersection of IP law and the metaverse, reflecting my passion for emerging technologies and their impact on the legal landscape. Through my legal work and diverse part-time roles, I have honed key skills in research, communication, organisation, and problem-solving. These experiences have taught me how to work effectively under pressure, manage multiple tasks, and communicate effectively with people. Ambitious and eager to learn, I am now seeking a trainee solicitor position where I can apply my skills, contribute to a dynamic team, and continue to grow as a legal professional.
