Why are you interested in practicing law?

When I started my bachelor of commerce, I began seeing the many implications of law in a business context. This practical aspect of law really appealed to me, which encouraged me to pursue legal studies.

Is there a practice area or industry in which you are particularly interested? Why?

I recently completed an internship at an asset management company. Venture capital and fund formation are of particular interest to me, as I believe they will continue to evolve in the future. It would also be particularly interesting to me to advise start-ups and follow them through their growth and development.

What qualities do you think a good lawyer should have? How do you display those qualities?

One of the most important qualities for a lawyer is the ability to gain clients’ trust by communicating effectively and providing quality work. I am a good listener and I ask questions to better understand people’s needs and adapt my work accordingly.
