I was offered a training contract with the firm after taking
part in a four week vacation scheme during the summer of 2001 and
started my training contract in March 2004. Before that, I read law
at Cambridge University from 1999 - 2002 and completed my LPC in
2003. During my training, I spent six months in the Litigation,
Real Estate and Corporate departments in London before going on a
six month secondment to MTV, one of the firm’s clients. This was a
great experience, not just for the legal challenges, it was also
brilliant for impressing my friends. Not many lawyers get to attend
a film premiere as part of their job! I qualified into the Real
Estate department in March 2006. After a fantastic two and a half
years, I moved on a year long secondment to our Property Litigation
team, where I’m based currently.
Look out for my next blog when I’ll be telling you a bit more
about the daily life of a property litigation solicitor (Hint:
fewer film premieres, but the odd outing in wellie boots and a hard
hat!)…
