Was in:
Ashurst, Solicitor, London
Now in:
| Banking and Finance -> Corporate broking |
Went about it:
Although I enjoyed my time as a solicitor with Ashurst, I'd always wanted to be closer to the equity markets and to my clients on a day-to-day basis. Corporate broking therefore provided the perfect balance.
Shortly after qualifying as a solicitor with Ashurst, I had the opportunity to take a fifteen month secondment to the UK Listing Authority. Having completed my secondment, the transition to becoming a corporate broker was relatively straightforward. Having said this, having spent my entire working life in the law, the initial learning curve was very steep and highly challenging.
