Wiggin LLP
You began professional life as an aeronautical engineer before retraining as a lawyer. What motivated such a dramatic career change and what advice would you give someone considering an equally big step?
Although keen on technology, engineering was never a natural fit for me. As a teenager my interests were broad but my school was academically strong on sciences, so I fell into studying engineering. Aeronautics is hard going when you do not have a passion for mathematics, so I suspected that I would not end up as an engineer. I was always aware of the law conversion course and when I started law school I knew it was the right choice.
