Maggi Shaju

I have previously worked at Grant Thornton UK LLP as an insolvency administrator and currently completing my LPC LLM. In my previous role, I assisted the senior managers and helped my director with projects. As a part of my job, I investigated the financial affairs of my client's debtors, reviewed documents, produced annual reports and was responsible for filing closure documents to the Companies House. I have achieved a 2:1 for my LLB and taken Business Law for my LPC LLM with corporate law and practice as my elective.
