My Route to Ellis Jones

I successfully completed my undergraduate degree in Law with European Legal Study at the University of Exeter, with advanced proficiency in Spanish, Law, and International Relations from the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain. Whilst in my final year of University, I began working for a firm of specialist nation-wide Criminal Defence Solicitors based in South Devon, and continued with this firm working as a fee-earning paralegal for over 2 years, specializing in both Criminal and Regulatory Law.
