Shay Marriott
@shaymarriott
Aspiring legal professional with a strong academic background in law.
What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing my LLB Law Degree at Aston University, where I have excelled academically, achieving a first-class honours grade in my first year. My studies encompass various modules, including Commercial Law and Contract Law, which have provided me with a solid foundation for my future career in law. I believe that a successful legal career requires a blend of academic knowledge, practical experience, and professional networking, and I am committed to achieving this balance.
In addition to my studies, I am actively seeking a legal placement to gain practical experience during my gap year from university. My involvement with Aston University's Law Society has enriched my understanding of commercial law through engaging discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. I am enthusiastic, hardworking, and dedicated to becoming a legal professional, and I strive to maintain a positive and professional demeanor in all situations.
