Bio
Gay Flashman
Seb has worked with us both full time and part time over the last two years and we have found him to have strong written and digital communication skills, as well as an impressive understanding of international political and economic affairs and theory. Seb manages time and tasks efficiently and delivers clear, error-free work, even under pressure of deadlines.

Sebastian undertook a mini-pupillage at Doughty Street Chambers in April 2014, during which he assisted me in researching, drafting and preparing a range of cases. He was able to quickly digest complex legal argument despite having limited formal legal training. In particular, Sebastian led a small group of other students in researching case law and drafting submissions to present to the Court in an effort to re-open a guilty plea. The case involved a teenage client of good character alleged to have been involved in serious sexual offending. Sebastian was able to meet with the client, provide a note of our conference and draft legal argument. His efforts resulted in the plea being re-opened, and concluded in the Crown Prosecution Service offering no evidence. Sebastian's persuasiveness in argument, balanced and objective thinking and clear intellect sets him apart. He was a pleasure to work with, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
