Why Me?

✓ A Hong Kong-raised, lower-class kid who achieved his dream of working as a corporate lawyer at a top international law firm in London

Got admitted to Cambridge University with a Second-Upper Class LLB (which is very rare).

Self studied for 3 months only and passed the New York bar exam as a foreigner (while I was jobless in London).

Got rejected over 100+ times when first applying for BigLaw firms in the UK, but I overcame adversities and finally got my job offer.

✓ Published several articles in peer-reviewed law journals as an undergraduate law student.

✓ Youngest winner of a Global Law Essay Competition and published my article as a book chapter as a fresh law graduate.

✓ Won the First Runner Up & Oralist Award for an International Moot Court Competition, despite English is not my first language.

Got a PhD in Law offer from Cambridge University (but I decided to work in private practice first).

✓ A LinkedIn influencer & YouTuber (with 50k+ followers) known for giving practical career advice to aspiring lawyers — featured in e.g. Legal Cheek, LawCareer.Net, The Corporate Law Academy).
