George Maxwell

Hi there!

My name is George. I am a future trainee at Herbert Smith Freehills (2023) and a member of the TCLA Forum Team. I am currently studying the PGDL at BPP Waterloo.

I am here to help. I would not be here if I had not been helped by others during my training contract journey(!), so please let me know if you would like some guidance or advice.

Feel free to tag me in threads or DM me for anything confidential. Unfortunately, due to capacity limitations, I am unable to respond to private messages unless they relate to a question that requires disclosure of personal/private information. The fastest way to get a detailed response from me is by tagging me @George Maxwell on any of the threads in the forum.

My LinkedIn is https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgejmaxwell/ - feel free to drop me a connection request.
