ABOUT MY CAREER
I am now a qualified solicitor at a mid-size boutique law firm in Hong Kong that specialises in intellectual property (IP), with a strong focus on the fashion and luxury, technology, property, and life science sectors. My main responsibility is overseeing clients’ IP portfolios and handling various IP matters, including trademark, patent, copyright, licensing and franchising, IP litigation, IP enforcement, and commercial IP advisory. I enjoy working with my team, especially my senior colleague, who is a highly reputable IP figure in Hong Kong.
One of the main skills I gained during my legal studies at Manchester Met is time management. I also learned to become a resilient and agile person. As a solicitor, I need to prioritise tasks instructed by seniors and clients. Although my supportive staff are friendly and helpful, I cannot always rely on them for answers. Instead, I conduct research, try to resolve problems, and find solutions on my own.
Manchester Met’s legal courses are well-designed for individuals who want to expand their legal knowledge and pursue promising career prospects in the legal field. The GDEHKL course and LLB (Hons) degree provide students with a fast track to exemption from conversion examinations, allowing them to fulfil all the prerequisite requirements for the Postgraduate Certificate in Laws (PCLL) programme and get a head start immediately after graduation. For someone seeking a second career, Manchester Met has provided everything I need.
This year, I plan to pursue an LLM in arbitration, mediation and alternative dispute resolution to further enhance my knowledge in the area of litigation.
MY TOP TIP FOR STUDENTS
Never underestimate your strength, never overestimate your weakness. Be confident!
I’M INSPIRED BY
The teaching staff at Manchester Met who always gave me unlimited support and encouragement during my legal studies.
WHY I LOVE MANCHESTER MET
What I loved about the Manchester Met course the most was its long-established history and excellent academic track record to get into PCLL. When I had the will, they provided me with a way.
