Queren discovers a passion for property
After coming to one of Uptree’s insight events with
Europa Capital, a Real Estate investment company, Queren
felt inspired. She decided she would enjoy a career in
property, and received a place on a work experience week
at Europa Capital. She has now received an offer to
study Real Estate at Oxford Brookes University.
“Uptree really opened my eyes to my options. I
attended the work experience day, where I found out
a lot about Europa Capital and very quickly knew I
wanted to explore more of what they do. I later did
an additional week of work experience with Europa
Capital during the summer, which gave me a better
understanding of the property sector. This really
inspired me and made me want to pursue a career
within Real Estate.”
Sakhina becomes a star young lawyer
“My exposure to Clifford Chance began at the
FuturesUP EY Insight day, where I met Yasmina Kone
and we began to speak about the firm. She encouraged
me to apply for their PRIME Work Experience Week. I
then attended the Clifford Chance Work Experience
Day. This gave me physical, practical and social
insight into the firm, its trainees and its style
of work.
“One week later, I was able to meet HR staff from
Clifford Chance at the amazing Uptree Partner
Breakfast, which provided me with an opportunity to
be further exposed to the recruitment aspects of
the firm. This leads me to the end of May, where I
received the amazing news that I had reached the
Top 10 Shortlist for ‘The Young Lawyer Of The Year
Award’. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am
to have been selected amongst hundreds of fantastic
young lawyers and remain optimistic to hear back
about the Top 3!”
