Trainee English Solicitor

Describe why you chose Ogier

Besides being one of the top firms in Jersey, Ogier has always been a friendly, welcoming and forward-thinking firm from back when I was a bursary student to where I am now. They did such a great job of showcasing the firm to me while I was a bursary student that I didn’t want to work anywhere else.

How has Ogier supported your career aspirations?

I have known for a long time that I wanted to qualify in law. As a bursary student, Ogier provided  me with invaluable experience across the firm, demonstrating various practice areas and also what life was like in legal practice.

Tell us about the people you work with

As a trainee solicitor and also as a bursary student, I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with a large number of teams in Ogier in both legal and business services departments. Everyone I have met has been friendly and great to work with.

What experience have you gained?

I have gained valuable legal experience in working in various aspects of law as well as working in an office environment and how law firms run as businesses.

What’s next?

Once I qualify as an English solicitor, I hope to sit my Jersey law exams.
