Aoife joined Lewis Denley with a strong academic background and a clear ambition to qualify as a solicitor.

She studied History at Queen’s University Belfast, graduating with a 2:1 BA (Hons), before going on to complete an MA in Law at the University of Sussex. She achieved a Merit overall and a Distinction for her dissertation, which explored trade law on the island of Ireland following Brexit.

Now putting all that studying into practice, Aoife is enjoying building her legal experience, learning from the team and taking the next steps towards qualification.

Away from work, football has always been a big part of her life. A Brighton & Hove Albion supporter, she held a season ticket for 13 years and spent many a matchday at the Amex with her dad and brothers.

When she’s not watching the football, you’ll usually find her spending time with family and friends or with Eric, her dog, who naturally gets a mention of his own.
