State School Educated

My Law Firm

Profile:

I studied law at university and then had a few different jobs in the years after graduating, including bartending and working as a paralegal at my local council’s Property department. I also participated in the AS Commercial Awareness Competition in 2022 and was offered my training contract from the legacy firm, Shearman & Sterling, a few months later. After completing the SQE in 2025, I joined A&O Shearman’s London office as a Trainee in September 2025.

Having been educated at a state school with no connections to the legal profession, I’m keen to make the profession more accessible, particularly promoting it to those from more socially mobile backgrounds.
