Could you elaborate on the factors and experiences that inspired you to choose a career in law?
My decision to pursue a career in law was significantly influenced by my father’s desire for me to become an advocate. Despite the opportunity to join our well-established family business, I was drawn to the legal profession due to the intellectual challenges it presents and the potential to make a meaningful impact. The experience I gained while assisting in the family business provided me with a unique perspective on the importance of legal frameworks in business operations. This, combined with my deep-seated interest in law, led me to pursue this path. Though leaving the family business was not an easy decision, the support of my family and the mentorship I received allowed for a smooth transition into the legal profession.
