Summary

Law student eager to deepen my understanding of pensions law and the commercial, regulatory, and governance issues shaping the sector. Through roles at the University of Bristol Law Clinic, Target Malaria, and society leadership, I have gained exposure to compliance processes, risk considerations, and client-focused advice in a variety of contexts. I bring a clear and logical approach to problem-solving, strong attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset, and I am keen to learn from specialists at Sackers to see how legal strategy operates in practice for pension schemes, trustees, and corporate clients.
