INTERVIEWS
OUT OF LAW interview: Mathew Chandy studied law in India before being recruited by Linkaters to do a training contract in London. After an in-house move to UBS, and at around 6yrs PQE, he decided to set up a business with a friend and the result is “Mooli’s”, a restaurant in Soho serving delicious Indian “moveable feasts”. We spoke to him at the end of 2009 about his career change and life as a new restaurateur. You can read about him here.
WITHIN LAW interview: Adel Sheikh qualified as a property lawyer in Portsmouth in 2003 and made several job moves until he was an associate legal counsel for GAP in London by 2007.
