Why did you choose to do a seat in personal injury?
I enjoy the regular client contact that comes with working in this department. During each case, you get to build a relationship with the client, and support them through what can be a stressful and difficult time in their lives.

What is your experience of being a trainee at Walker Smith Way?
From the outset, I have been given lots of responsibility and client contact, which has allowed me to start putting my academic training into practice. My colleagues are all friendly and approachable, which is so important, and I've been encouraged to get involved in the social aspects of the firm, which means that I am already starting to feel like part of the team.

What do you feel most passionate about within your working life?
Working closely with clients to find legal solutions which suit their individual needs.

What do you feel most passionate about within your home life?
My family and friends.
