Bangor Having shot as a hobby since I was a teenager I wanted to try and bring this great sport to my fellow students. As such I started the Bangor University Shooting Club, so that more students can have the opportunity to continue their hobby or even shoot for the first time. As Captain and Founder I took the Club rifle and clay pigeon shooting.

I have been able to start the club and run it successfully since the summer of 2019, and through the pandemic. I am proud to have handed over to a new committee upon my graduation; allowing the club the opportunity to grow and flourish further into the future.

This has involved the review, and drafting, of agreements in areas like distribution and sponsorship.

On top of this I have also been involved in trademark work, mainly in helping manage the trademark portfolio, and in the review of the company's trademark policy. I have been working with the rest of the legal team to address challenges like these while also being on hand to other parts of the company to provide legal advice as and when needed. I am using my time here as part of my Qualifying Work Experience for the SQE scheme, to qualify as a Solicitor. Show less

During my time as a Legal Intern with Vitafo I worked, particularly, with Kate Montazeri, the General Counsel at Vitaflo. Due to the pandemic we worked from home. We looked at issues with contracts surrounding things like distribution and sponsorships. We also explored anti bribery procedure, and some did some work around trademarks. Plus, as Nestle is an international company, some jobs involved getting documents translated, both for internal records and contracts to be sent to other… Show more During my time as a Legal Intern with Vitafo I worked, particularly, with Kate Montazeri, the General Counsel at Vitaflo.

I gained hands-on experience of advocacy at the highest level where legislation is created; as Mr Sanchez negotiated with Senators and Congresspeople with the hopes of changing the law. I learnt firsthand how advocacy was conducted at this level; for example, how it was necessary to be flexible to ensure that your wider aims could be implemented. With representatives of the Republican party, for example, the necessity of a fair and even marketplace was stressed. Whereas with Democrats we focused on how increased tax measures could be used to increase funding for the likes of schools and the military. Show less
