Our people

I am a Senior Associate in the Global Financial Markets (GFM) team in Milan. I was raised in the UK where I completed a LLB in English and European law at Queen Mary, University of London, and an MSc in Law, Business and Management at the University of Law. I qualified as an attorney in the State of New York in 2016 and as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2018. Before moving to Italy and joining Clifford Chance, I trained as a solicitor in London with an international law firm.

I am one of the UK/US qualified lawyers based in Milan mainly working on cross-border/international transactions. 

What keeps me motivated?

Definitely a happy client. I am motivated by knowing that if I do my best there are high chances that after a few weeks or months of work (depending on the transaction) the client will be happy and satisfied with our legal services and will engage us on additional mandates. It is really rewarding when a client comes back because they got on well with our team and were happy with the work that was done. 

The work

It is fair to say that every day is different! I work on a number of different products within GFM, with respect to different sectors as well as with different offices of our global network. The work is dynamic and intellectually challenging and gives you the opportunity to get client exposure quite early on in your career. 

My advice

Keeping an open mind is key as well as being flexible and always curious. For example, I initially started off my career as a corporate lawyer in London to then discover a strong interest for finance and capital markets and here I am today, really enjoying working in finance and capital markets.
