Trainee Solicitor (Qualifying September 2027) – Banking & Finance
I am a trainee solicitor in the Banking & Finance team, focusing on leveraged finance, venture debt and corporate finance. I work on a broad range of regional, national and international transactions, acting for both lenders and borrowers across multiple sectors and delivering commercially focused outcomes for clients.
I joined Shoosmiths in 2024 as a paralegal in the Banking & Finance team before commencing my training contract in 2026, and I am due to qualify into the team in September 2027.
I hold an LLB in Law from the University of Reading and achieved a distinction in the LPC MSc in Law, Business and Management at The University of Law.
