Birmingham, England, United Kingdom
I recently graduated with a First Class Honours Law degree, achieving first class results throughout both second and third year. Alongside a strong academic record, I gained practical legal experience through Legal Advice Clinic and Advanced Legal Practice, involving client interviewing, legal research and drafting advice. I was selected for the Advanced Legal Practice module, a competitive opportunity with limited places. Particular interests include Land Law, Equity and Trusts, and Wills and Administration of Estates, achieving strong results across these areas. I am keen to continue developing legal knowledge and practical experience in the legal sector. Beyond law, I have studied Spanish for the last 9 years and continue through independent practice. I also enjoy reading, particularly non-fiction and psychology-related topics, alongside creative hobbies like crochet.
