Madeleine joined FSI in September 2010 as a trainee.

Madeleine graduated from Durham University in 2007 with a degree in French which included spending a year abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France, as part of her course.  She then embarked on a post graduate gap year working in London before travelling around Eastern Europe.  On her return to London, Madeleine completed the GDL and LPC at BPP London Waterloo and Holborn respectively, taking electives in Advanced Commercial Property, Advanced Commercial Litigation and Family Law. 

Madeleine's first seat was in the real estate team where she worked on a range of projects from assisting in an asset share sale of a company to drafting lease renewals.

Madeleine’s second seat was in the employment department where she assisted in drafting claim forms, handbooks and compromise agreements.  She also attended client meetings, conferences with Counsel and presented the department’s monthly “know-how” meetings giving updates on legislation and recent case decisions.

Madeleine's third seat was in the litigation department where she worked on an international fraud case and was involved in a large disclosure exercise. She was also able to attend court with Counsel on a number of occasions which she found thoroughly rewarding.
