As part of the legal cell at Queen Mary University, I was extensively involved in assisting start-ups in various aspects of their businesses

- Working in a small group of 3, I created various prototypes for these organisations.
- My topic of focus was how trademarks and copyrights could be protected by registering, and the ways in which these business owners could take action if their IPs were violated
- I gave an extensive presentation to adapt to their style of communication and explain to them with ease what IPs are and how they can be secured.
Key Skills: I developed my research, presentation and team work skills through this experience.
