Hello everyone. My name is Oyinfayo. I’m a graduate of the University of South Wales. Before studying law, I studied international relations. Last year, I completed a vacation scheme at Osborne Clarke, but unfortunately, I wasn't offered a training contract.

I currently work as a legal investment researcher, and this is my third year applying for training contracts. Honestly, the process is beginning to affect me more than I expected, and that's why I am here.
