Graduate Profile
Jagdish Patel,
LLM Commercial and Corporate Law 2008- 2009 Currently: Associate, Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co, Bangalore, India
“I had studied law at University Law College (Bangalore University). The reason I came to London and Queen Mary was due to the strong Arbitration and Finance course and of course the reputation of CCLS. The other reason being the fact that the UK is the second largest investor in India and the growth that such an investment would bring into the country. The legal sector has been opened up to the UK law firms. India has also passed the LLP (limited liability partnership) act to cater to the foreign law firms bringing with it quality service and competitive legal practice.
Since graduating in 2009 I have had very little time to stop and reflect on my year in London. I have been working non-stop! The knowledge I gained at Queen Mary has most definitely helped me evolve as a lawyer. I benefited from the theory plus practice approach adopted by the faculty; and I very much appreciated their willingness to help and their approachability when I was tackling assignments. I look

back very fondly on my time at Queen Mary, as well as forward to the future as my career continues to develop.”
Omosede Okpiaru, Nigeria LLM in Tax Law 2011-12 Winner of the University of Lagos/CCLS Scholarship
“I completed my LLB at the University of Lagos in Nigeria, and since being called to the bar, worked in both the banking industry and the Lagos state internal revenue service. I felt it was time to do a Masters programme and decided to focus on taxation law. Since the beginning of this session, I have been enrolled on the LLM at Queen Mary, University of London.
My research showed that Queen Mary is one of only a few universities that offers the LLM in taxation. This has been a huge boost to my career objectives, offering me the chance to compare various tax regimes. I have taken courses in both UK and EU tax laws; in my courses, I have discovered the different theoretical underpinnings of tax regimes in major countries. Another advantage of studying here is its location in central London, a major European commercial and political centre.
I must also point out, that as a visually impaired student, I have received tremendous assistance, both from the department and the international office. I expect to do very well indeed on this programme and avail myself of all the opportunities for career improvements.”
Juliet Opoka Angwech, LLM Medical Law, 2009-10, Currently Legal Officer, Law Society of Uganda
“I hold a bachelors degree from Makerere University Kampala and a post graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Law Development Centre Kampala. I have worked as a humanitarian lawyer with the Norwegian Refugee Council and in private practice as well. I joined Queen Mary after being given a scholarship by the Department of law. I have enjoyed my stay at Queen Mary, loved the class interactions, the discussions during the seminars were great, my lecturers could be easily reached and the students are warm and very friendly. I particularly enjoyed the huge range of International backgrounds that characterise Queen Mary’s student body that exposes one to various learning experiences from the different backgrounds.”
