Mayo is a third seat trainee solicitor in the Employment department.
I am always happiest when I sink into my seat on a plane ready for a new adventure abroad – I absolutely love to travel! I was fortunate enough to spend a year of my undergraduate degree as an exchange student in Wisconsin, USA. Last year, I also visited eleven different countries (with plans to visit Brazil, Ghana, and Australia in the near future). I have a personal goal to visit 30 countries before turning 30 so I'm well on my way to achieving that! Engaging with other cultures informs my sense of self by allowing different perspectives to shape my understanding of the world. I am passionate about facilitating this across both my personal and professional life.
I chose Travers Smith because of how genuinely friendly people were. The 'people-culture' is so deeply embedded in the firm that you'll always meet a friendly face no matter where you are (whether that's grabbing a quick coffee from Braithwaite's or working alongside your team to deliver high-quality work). I am excited to begin my legal career at a firm that fosters such a collaborative and approachable environment to both develop as an individual lawyer but also provide exceptional legal work for our clients.
