After completing my Training Contract with Taylor Wessing and qualifying into the London-based Construction team, I moved to our Dubai office in 2013 to practice in international arbitration and dispute resolution. The highlight of my job is the real opportunity to work across multiple jurisdictions and get to know my colleagues across the globe. I am regularly exposed to matters across all of our offices, whether it is working with the Paris office to provide a legal opinion, working with Frankfurt on the enforcement of an arbitral award, assisting the Shanghai office with alternative dispute resolution or organising a joint pitch with our Seoul office. This international dynamic not only strengthens your commerciality and inter-personal skills, but makes you appreciate that every office places the same value on teamwork, highlighting that Taylor Wessing’s real strength continues to be its people.

People are at the heart of our firm and so is the opportunity to help each other to develop.  As the co-chair of our cultural diversity network, I believe celebrating cultural, religious and ethnic diversity is especially important. 

We strive to be a firm that celebrates with each other, learns from each other and brings the best out of our people.  If you have enthusiasm and ambition, want to build a career with a difference, then Taylor Wessing is an excellent and inclusive place to be.

Pro bono is a key part of our practice. It is a great opportunity for our lawyers to take a step back and consider the local, more personal impact the law can have on society. I encourage all of our lawyers to take part and we provide many opportunities to get involved.
