Laila Hussain

A dedicated university student currently studying LLB Law with a keen interest towards the corporate law and commercial law industry. Through legal work experience at Browns Solicitors and an open day at HSF Kramer, alongside exposure to HSBC Asset Management and a UBS Campus Ambassador role, I have developed commercial awareness, client-facing communication skills and an understanding of professional services environments.
