Jonny enjoys mentoring a number of his former students who are now in practice, several of whom provided quotations for his book “Becoming a Lawyer”, which was published by BPP Learning Media in 2013.
Tracey qualified in 1992, practising as a commercial litigator and contentious insolvency practitioner for corporate clients at a commercial firm in Birmingham for five years, before moving north to a commercial practice for 11 years. She joined BPP University Law School in 2006 and is now LPC Programme Leader in Leeds where she continues to specialise in commercial litigation.
Caroline trained at leading City law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP and spent a further six years in the firm’s Real Estate department. She has also spent time working abroad, in a law firm in Stockholm, and enjoyed a secondment with Schroders plc. After joining BPP University Law School in 2011, Caroline is now a member of the LPC Training Team in London. She is also the Joint National Module Leader for commercial law and intellectual property and teaches property law and practice. Caroline works with several of our exclusive law firm clients and also supervises a number of pro bono projects .
Rebecca was called to the Bar in 2007, having received a scholarship from Inner Temple. She worked as a caseworker with Refugee and Migrant Justice before securing pupillage with the Crown Prosecution Service in London. Following pupillage Rebecca worked as a Crown Prosecutor before returning north in 2010. Rebecca is a tenant at Kenworthy’s Chambers in Manchester where she specialises in immigration, asylum and judicial review work. She is an Advocacy Training Council (ATC) accredited advocacy tutor and is the Module Leader for Asylum Detention Deportation and Extradition.
Ayshea was called to the Bar by Middle Temple in 1997, gaining pupillage and then tenancy at No.6 Chambers, Leeds, where she practised predominantly in family and criminal law. She is ATC accredited and teaches advocacy, written skills, remedies, professional ethics, personal injury and clinical negligence, and family law on the BPTC. Proving that those in the legal profession are anything but old-fashioned, in her spare time Ayshea sings and plays in two bands alongside fellow lawyers.
After converting to law, Ishan was called to the Bar in 2002 by Middle Temple as both a Jules Thorn and Benefactors Scholar. He completed pupillage and gained tenancy at 2 Hare Court, where he prosecuted and defended before the criminal courts. Later, he branched out into civil work and after a short spell in-house at the Nursing & Midwifery Council joined BPP University Law School. Ishan is the Module Leader for criminal litigation, evidence and sentencing and also the professional discipline option. He also teaches advocacy and is an ATC accredited tutor. In 2013 he was appointed by the Bar Standards Board as an External Examiner for advocacy.
