Can you tell us about your involvement in LawWithoutWalls?
During the LLM, I was selected to participate in the LawWithoutWalls (LWOW) programme, a cross-disciplinary student programme designed to challenge traditional ways of legal thinking. This project was supported by industry experts from a range of sectors across the world. Our project was to create a solution to enable access to the market for the ‘supermarket law’ generation. Our solution, offering fixed fee legal advice via video conferencing facilities in small retail outlets, won the award for ‘most viable project.’
What was it like taking part in a global and collaborative project like LawWithoutWalls?
I worked with team members based in California and Miami and we produced our project entirely in digital form. Given the diverse range of participants in LWOW from all over the world, I have professional contacts in a number of different countries, which will be invaluable as my career progresses.
How has studying at UCL Laws helped you in your career journey?
Eversheds sponsored the programme for the first time during my participation. I was assigned an Eversheds mentor with whom I still keep in contact today. I was invited to a dinner at the Eversheds office and was able to discuss my training contract application with the connections I have made. UCL facilitated this relationship and the connections I made throughout London during my time on the programme were extremely valuable in progressing my career. This led to me securing a training contract with the firm whilst studying for my LLM. I am now a trainee solicitor at Eversheds in the London office.
