Summary
An Upper Second Class LLB and LLM graduate currently completing the SQE. I have a strong passion for commercial law, corporate transactions, and private client matters. My experience includes a virtual vacation scheme, internships on Forage and roles as a brand ambassador for Google and Visa. Having lived in four countries, I have developed a deep appreciation for cross-border transactions and the complexities of international client needs. Committed to building a career in law, I am eager to contribute my analytical, innovative, and client-focused skills to a forward-thinking firm.
