Rehan read law at the University of Liverpool and later studied the LPC at the University of Law in Manchester. He is a future trainee solicitor at a national law firm and currently works as a litigation paralegal in the banking sector. Rehan has a keen interest in Corporate & Commercial Law and hopes to pursue this further as a lawyer practising within this arena. Over the years Rehan has worked in numerous paralegal roles across different sectors of the legal market accumulating knowledge of different practice areas. Rehan is also a lead organiser for his firm’s charity committee, having organised fundraisers for selected charities each year.
Outside of work, Rehan mentors students from the BAME community and first-generation university attendees aspiring to be lawyers, accountants or consultants. He is an advocator for diversity and inclusion within the legal market and aims to utilise his experiences to help others break down any potential barriers. To this effect, he is also a Professional Ambassador for Aspiring Solicitors and a contributor for Epoch, providing commentary on legal, economic and technological developments.
“Law underpins every facet of our lives in some shape or form, providing rules which protect us and outlining the obligations we are bound by. Given the importance of this on every individual, it is imperative that society as a whole is well informed and educated on implemented laws. As legal professionals and students, we must utilise our experiences and knowledge to educate others, in particular, the upcoming generation in schools to ensure they understand their rights to successfully navigate through any challenges in life.
I have always been surprised to learn that students in schools are not taught about legal regulations and obligations, information that should be embedded in our minds from an early age. Unsurprisingly, the pivotal role of the legal system comes as a shock to many later on in life. Leducate provides a platform which bridges such gaps in knowledge to better prepare individuals for adulthood in a simplified, yet insightful and invaluable manner”.
