My experience
I am currently in my third seat of my training contract, which is in the Employment Department.
Prior to commencing my training contract, I received a First Class Bachelor of Laws at the University of Southampton and I volunteered as an adviser at the Citizens Advice alongside my degree. I then completed my LPC and Masters in Law (LLM) at the University of Law, receiving a Distinction.
I have worked as a Paralegal for over two years collectively in various legal departments including Commercial Property and Catastrophic Personal Injury. I have also been exposed to Corporate and Commercial sectors throughout my time working in-house.
During my time at the Citizens’ Advice, I was required to research and advise many clients on aspects of Employment Law.
I aim to work thoroughly, efficiently and collaboratively on every transaction I work on and look forward to expanding my skill set during the rest of my training contract.
