Michael Oliphant Email & Phone Number

I have had the aspiration to work in law for many years, and keep this in mind with every action I take. I have always loved working, progressing through organisations and sectors. For specific legal experience, I worked within a firm of criminal defence solicitors in West-London as a pro-bono paralegal and then transitioned to a pro-bono paralegal within a North-London NHS trust. I have played classical guitar for 15 Years and have a passion for music and the arts, self-teaching myself classical piano. Furthermore, my passion for the arts leads me to attend classical concerts and also to frequent the theatre, enjoying small independent productions as well as international shows. I have a clear plan of how I want to get to where I need to go. I graduated in July 2018 from the University of West London with a First Class (hons.) in Criminology with Law. And have now completed the Graduate Diploma in Law. I hope to progress to my LPC, commencing in 2020. I have always strived to be an individual and am very confident and self-assured, meaning I love meeting new people and having new experiences. Working for the criminal defence solicitors gave me training and education that I would not have been able to gain from a classroom. Furthermore I had the opportunity to meet outstanding people, both of the legal profession and otherwise. As well as this, I was given the opportunity to assist a barrister in court in a matter concerning a well-known client, with whom I had been entrusted to conduct a private meeting to take a proof. I am constantly working to grow my networking circle and to engage myself in any and all opportunities that I am able to.
