Shaikat Mahmud Sharp
Liverpool,Merseyside
Summary
Unregistered UK barrister with strong procedural skills from my LLM in Bar Vocational Studies at City, University of London, which was great for court advocacy & other procedural steps but light on deep commercial law. Eager to fill that gap with Wismar University's Master's in 'German and International Commercial Law', building expertise to thrive in international commercial practice.
