Personal Statement
As a highly driven final-year law student with hands-on legal experience and a deep interest in cross-border corporate compliance, I am excited by the opportunity to join Baker McKenzie's Global Corporate Maintenance Solutions Team. My attention to detail, legal research capabilities, and professional communication style have been sharpened through direct client engagement and document preparation under a practicing barrister. Corporate law firmly satisfies my skillset due to its demand for strategic coordination, international scope, and procedural accuracy which are qualities I have honed both academically and practically. I am particularly drawn to Baker McKenzie's global reach, commitment to innovation, and reputation for developing legal talent across jurisdictions.
