Alice EG

My Law Firm

Profile:

I am currently an Associate in the Commercial IP, IT & Data Privacy team at Bristows and advise clients on a range of commercial matters.

After studying Law at Cambridge, I knew I wanted to be a lawyer but decided to gain some industry experience first. My first job after university was working in the Head Office of Lyle & Scott on several change management projects. It was an invaluable commercial experience, which gave me an insight into the world of fashion and running a business more generally.

I studied the LPC at BPP and then began my training contract at Bristows in 2015 with seats in our Patent Litigation, Commercial IP, IT & Data Privacy, Competition and Corporate Teams. I also completed a client secondment to a leading technology provider. I qualified into the Commercial IP, IT & Data Privacy team, which I sit in today, and was lucky enough to go on another client secondment when I was about two years qualified.

Whilst on secondment, I had the opportunity to advise on a number of media, consumer protection and advertising law matters and decided this was something that I wanted to do more of, so when an opportunity arose to do all three at Bird & Bird, I took it. I specialised in these areas of law at Bird & Bird for just under two years before ultimately deciding to move back to Bristows.

Diverse and inclusive workplaces foster a sense of belonging, which in turn promotes wellbeing, understanding and innovation. In the legal industry, our clients are diverse and it’s important that we are too. As a minority in the legal industry, it’s an area which is personal to me and which I seek to promote.
