About

I am a Trainee Solicitor at Lewis Silkin, currently sitting with the Digital, Creative and Commerce team for my third seat.

For my first seat, I spent 8 months with the Employment team, focusing on contentious and investigations work. For my second seat, I joined the Employment Legal team at Creative Artists Agency, a leading entertainment and sports agency, where I provided comprehensive support on a broad range of employment and HR matters across the company's global operations.

I'm a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion group at Lewis Silkin, specifically, the Gender group. I'm also an active member of the firm's Sports Business group – as a keen Netball player and an all-round sports enthusiast, I am particularly interested in gaining experience in the sports industry as well as the wider media and entertainment sector.

Born in Milan, I am fluent in Italian, and I enjoy applying my language skills to my work.

Prior to commencing my training contract, I graduated with first-class honours in BA History from the London School of Economics and Political Science. I then undertook the PGDL at BPP University, before completing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination in 2024, passing both SQE1 and SQE2 in the top quintile.
