Career information

Brief history since leaving University

LLM in Maritime law, Lund University

Where do I see myself in the future?

I am thinking of possibly taking PhD course in maritime law. In few years I would like to have my own maritime consulting company. I am also taking New York Bar exam some time soon. I advise to whoever is interested in taking it from UK to look into it, as I had to wait quite long to get approved but they do allow foreigners who were educated in common law.
