Summary

I am a highly motivated and aspiring legal professional with a strong academic foundation, an unwavering commitment to excellence, and a genuine passion for the practice of law. My relentless pursuit of knowledge and my dedication to achieving meaningful outcomes for clients make me an ideal candidate for a vacation scheme in the field of law. I have gained valuable experience with law while doing contractual work back home in Sierra Leone, My academics are currently going well as I am a second year at the university of Goldsmiths. I am able to research to and excellent level and I can converse with multiple people because of the wide range of languages I can speak. I will be looking to further my career at your firm but at the same time helping your firm achieve their goals in the time I am there. That's all I have to add but in the future I believe it will be great to add your firm to my summary of the work I have done in law.

While my dad was alive he loved to travel to Freetown Sierra Leone to do business. He would build houses, stores, hotels etc but when he passed away he left it all to my mom which lead to arguments with extended family. We proceeded to keep it and once I turned eighteen I took over the mantel of sorting out all the contractual arrangements and proving that we own the land to the correct t authorities and I still do this till this day to make sure we can keep a hold of the property which Will soon her sold and turned into a school. This self employed job requires a lot.
