“I’VE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF TAKING MY OWN PRO BONO CASE TO COURT. FROM SHAPING THE STRATEGY TO ARGUING THE CASE IN COURT, IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.”

TRAINEE SOLICITOR

When I was growing up, I wanted to be an actor, but my parents persuaded me to look into an academic profession. I applied to study Law at Cambridge and became involved with the law society there. Through one of the society’s talks I met a Herbert Smith Freehills partner who encouraged me to apply for the vacation scheme. I committed to a training contract and when I graduated, worked as a paralegal at Herbert Smith Freehills, before going couch-surfing across the USA. Since then, I completed the LPC and started working at Herbert Smith Freehills – that was nearly a year ago now.
