Hi everyone, I'm Chloe and I'm a law graduate from Cardiff Uni (graduated in 2019). I am currently working at Herbert Smith Freehills in their Global Arbitration department in a PTA role but I'm really looking (PRAYING) to secure a TC this year now. From past legal experience my favored area of law is catastrophic injury, but I'm keeping an open mind. This is my first year of really trying to get a TC as I had planned to go travelling after University but due to Covid everything got delayed and ultimately didn't go ahead. Good luck with all of your TC applications!
