Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I work as a lawyer and was called to the bar in 2015. Since then, I have practiced across a diverse range of legal areas. These include corporate and commercial law, arbitration, capital markets, and criminal and civil litigation. I recently moved to the United Kingdom and am in the process of qualifying as a UK solicitor while pursuing a master’s in International Business Law at the University of Liverpool.
Why did you choose the University of Liverpool for your law studies?
The University of Liverpool LLM International Business Law programme stood out because it equips students with advanced knowledge of international sales, cross-border insolvency restructuring, banking law and intellectual property law. The overall impression, as well as the numerous positive testimonials of some past students, confirmed my impression and conviction of the course and university.
How did you find studying online with the University of Liverpool?
Studying online with the University of Liverpool is very flexible, especially with the demands of work and family life. The online course allows me to study at my own pace and the online platform is flexible. It includes all the materials needed to study and is accessible 24/7. Lecturers are always ready to meet the needs of students, while the Student Support team regularly monitors my progress.
What advice would you give to prospective students thinking of studying law online?
I can recommend the University of Liverpool to prospective students because the programme is well-organised, flexible, and appropriate for students who do not have the capacity to study on campus full-time.
How have you applied the legal skills you have learned in your professional role?

The programme has also assisted me in honing my critical thinking skills around issues and tackling intricate legal challenges. Other areas I’ve applied my skills to are international contracts, cross-border insolvency restructuring, and international commercial arbitration.
Finally, what are your career aspirations for the future?
In the future, I aspire to study a PhD in law. I am also interested in international commercial arbitration and hope to lecture at some point in the future.
