What myth about Davies would you want to dispel?
That Davies, due to the intensity of its mandates and its high level of excellence, is an environment where lawyers are rarely available or accessible. It is quite the opposite. Despite a demanding work pace, firm members take the time to interact, share their experiences and support young professionals. This demonstrates a sincere commitment to the next generation and a culture focused on transferring knowledge. Students are welcomed as future colleagues and their development is genuinely prioritized.
Why are you interested in practising law?
What excites me about the practice of law is contributing concretely to the realization of projects. I see lawyers as strategic business advisers who support clients in negotiating and closing transactions, managing risks and achieving their goals.
