Summary
Driven and detail-orientated law graduate with an LLB in Law with French and a Master's degree in law, complemented by practical training through the SQE Preparation Course. I bring hands-on experience from working in a law firm, where I developed strong skills in legal research, drafting, and case preparation. I have a particular interest in dispute resolution and litigation, and thrive in fast-paced environments that require sound judgement and analytical thinking. Highly organised and reliable, I work effectively both independently and as part of a team, consistently meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality legal support.
