Martina

Trainee Solicitor in a boutique law firm located in the heart of London. I specialise in immigration and family law and I am due to qualify as a Solicitor in March 2023.

My experience in law stems from an early age when I was undertaking my A-level studies, which was the time when I chose to study law as one of my subjects at school. I did make the right choice, because it became my favourite subject and it transpired that I am particularly good at it. I, then, applied to study LLB Law and I qualified three years later with a LLB degree. Upon qualification, I was not able to secure a legal role imminently, so I took a break by gaining work experience in a grocery shop, a restaurant and also in a private nursery school for young kids. It inevitably led me to developing large number of skills, particularly customer skills, time management skills and skills for managing work under pressure.

When I secured an internship and subsequently a paralegal role in a law firm, I then enrolled to the LLM Legal Practice Solicitors course on part-time basis, while working full-time during the week. I successfully completed this course in the summer of 2021.

Availability: Saturday and Sunday, but I can make exceptions if absolutely necessary.

Willing to travel: 3 miles
