Sebastian F

My Law Firm

Profile:

I studied Politics & International Relations at the University of Manchester and continued onto complete the MA Law (GDL) at the University of Law in Manchester. During my Masters, I participated in the AS Aspire 2020 Legal Mentoring Programme with Covington & Burling LLP and AstraZeneca. This experience was insightful and I was able to successfully leverage it when discussing my exposure to law firms and demonstrating my interest in the work they do.

Following my graduation and completion of AS Aspire 2020, I worked as a paralegal at two international law firms. During this time, I continued to participate in AS opportunities such as the annual Commercial Awareness Competition, in which I progressed to the semi-finals in 2021. Shortly after, I obtained a Training Contract at Norton Rose Fulbright LLP following a successful Winter Vacation Scheme in December 2021.

I am passionate about helping diverse candidates as well as assisting in making law an inclusive profession. I became an AS Mentor in 2024 and am happy to discuss my journey to become a trainee as well as assisting others in their pursuit of the same. I also sat the SQE 1 and SQE 2 exams from 2021-2022 and am more than happy to discuss this route with any AS candidates who are thinking of doing the same.
