Profile:

I am a Partner in the Real Estate team at VWV, having joined the firm as an NQ solicitor. Prior to that, I trained and qualified at a firm in the Midlands. I advise our clients on Commercial Property matters and specialise in advising our education sector clients. I am also a member of the VWV graduate recruitment team as well as being a trainee supervisor. These are aspects of my job that I really enjoy.

My parents are both originally from Mauritius and came to the UK in the 1960s to train as nurses in the NHS. Neither of them have been to University and understandably had little connection with the law. I went to state school and then College before studying Law at Warwick University. I found the opportunities to obtain a training contract challenging and I felt I was placed at a disadvantage to have no connection to the law or any contacts to gather information from in relation to what was required of me when applying for training contracts/obtaining relevant work experience. Nevertheless, I succeeded. I am therefore very pleased to support Aspiring Solicitors and to pass on any information, experience and guidance that could help others enter the profession.
