SHARIQ SHAKEEL

As an aspiring legal professional with a rich blend of internship experience and community involvement, I bring a unique perspective and unwavering commitment to the legal field. My journey began with an enlightening internship at a very well-known law firm before even completing my LLB, where I honed my legal research and client communication skills, gaining invaluable insights into the intricacies of legal practise. Currently, I am engaged in pro bono work at Hedge Jones & Allen, focusing on personal injury claims. This role has not only deepened my understanding of personal injury law but also underscored the importance of empathy and dedication in addressing client needs. My commitment to service extends beyond the legal sector, as evidenced by my involvement with my university ́s Student Union. As a Welcome Intern and Student Representative, I developed strong leadership and organisational skills, ensuring new students felt supported and heard. Moreover, as President of the University ́s Public Services Society, I led initiatives that fostered a sense of community and civic responsibility among students. This experience further refined my leadership abilities and my capacity to inspire and mobilise peers towards common goals.
