Planning on studying law? Want to know more about how the law works? Want to know how to write like a lawyer? Then this class is for you!

Hello! My name is Christian and I am a qualified solicitor back in my home country of New Zealand.I've recently moved to London and before I embark on my next professional adventure, I thought it might be a nice time to give back some of the knowledge I've collected over my studies and professional experience. I took great satisfaction when I helped my younger brother during his legal studies (and even more so when I admitted him to become a lawyer).

I spent many years trying to grasp what the law is, how to write a 'legal opinion', how to write 'like a lawyer' - even how to 'think like a lawyer'. Surprisingly, all thise things are actually quite helpful even if you don't want to become a lawyer. Understanding the law can help you know your rights better, it can help you solve problems more logically, it can help you write more concisely and more persuasively. Anywhere you go or whatever you want to do, somewhere along the line the law will be involved - if ever so slightly. And the best part is, there is always more to learn! Even the finest judges, or the most distinguished King's Counsel don't know everything about the law (although they;d be pretty bloody close).

So let me know whether you're studying law and want some help with your studies, whether you want to improve your writing or negotiating skills, whether you want to learn abit more about the law that affects you, or whether you want to know what its' like working as a lawyer. There are no silly questions in my class!

(Please note that this class is not and cannot be constituted as 'legal advice', it is for educational purposes only!)

Look forward to meeting you all,

Christian

Oh and if I haven't selected available times that would suit you better, please drop me a line and I'll see what can be arranged.

Extra information

A laptop is likely to be handy, but big respect if you take notes by hand. Some recording device will prove very beneficial too.

Outside of this I am an avid music fan, runner and enjoy travelling to experience new cultures.

Education

I went to high school at Chirsts College in Christchurch New Zealand
Victoria University of Wellington studying law and arts (majoring in media studies) I also took a number of music papers, particularly Sonic Arts. My favourite law papers were on international law, climate change, and IT and technology.

I have volunteered at Community Law in Wellington, worked for a private law firm in Whangnaui for 2 years followed by a more commercial based law firm in Auckland before moving to London
I am a qualified lawyer back in my home country of New Zealand. I've recently moved to London at the request of my lovely girlfriend and thought I might share my 2nd love of the English language while I'm looking for my next professional adventure. Whether you're just wanting to learn to speak, write creatively, concisely, or persuasively I am here to help. We can tailor my classes so that you can take something real and valuable from it. If you are also a budding law student, or want to know more about the study of law - let me know and I'll see if I can arrange something separate for that.
