Vanessa is a third seat trainee solicitor in our Corporate M&A and ECM department.
I grew up in London and, as much as I enjoy the city, I value my time in nature so at the weekend you'll find me exploring the UK's hidden gems and hiking with friends and family. I love weightlifting, calisthenics, and healthy habits. My ideal Sunday would be gym training followed by sauna and steam, a let's-get-a-coffee-and-walk-through-the-park date with a friend or alone with one of my favourite podcasts, cooking with and spending time with my family, and winding-down with candles and a good non-fiction book! One of my favourite pastimes would have to be building/ designing websites and creating videos. I also like looking at architecture and have visited many European countries home to beautiful historical landmarks.
I chose Travers Smith because I knew I wanted to start my career exposed to the Firm's unparalleled training, high-quality clients and work, and room-sharing system. As soon as I joined, I felt part of the team and saw first-hand how incredibly supportive, and collaborative everyone is, with a strong focus on trainee development.
