What I'm looking for

I am seeking a placement in a high-pressure, hands-on legal team where I can contribute to commercial matters, gain client-facing experience, and accelerate my development as a commercial lawyer.

I am an Oxford law student with practical experience across commercial law firms and client-facing retail roles, focused on delivering precise, commercially minded legal work under pressure.

At Dorsey & Whitney LLP I researched international e-commerce and intellectual property issues and co-structured a partner-level pitch to win a high-growth client, sharpening my ability to translate legal risk into commercial opportunity.

Through internships and insight events at firms such as Weil and Dorsey & Whitney, and hands-on proofreading and litigation work at Cooley (referenced in application text), I developed negotiation, advocacy and deal-oriented skills suited to lean, high-performing teams.

Outside legal placements, I have held leadership and operational roles in university societies — including Treasurer of Mansfield Law Society and committee roles for the Oxford Rifle Club and Kickboxing Society — demonstrating mentorship, financial stewardship and a disciplined, resilient mindset.
