How did you decide litigation and private law were what you wanted to specialise in? What motivates you about this area of law? During my university years I was more interested in criminal law and wanted to work for an international criminal Court. I was always fascinated by the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials that prosecuted war crimes and atrocities. But when I startedmy traineeship in aprivate lawfirmIwasdrawnby the private law cases I was working on. The challenges of understanding the civil law principles and concepts and applying them to concrete cases, drafting pleadings and arguing in Court became very attractive to me. I found private law intellectually more challenging than criminal law. Women in Law Awards 2021 TMT, CYBERSECURITY & PRIVACY CHINA - 100 -
