After several years in practice, across both transactional and disputes work, I was keen to return to the classroom. Columbia’s academic rigor and faculty strength along with the international exposure the program offers made it an easy choice.

As a lawyer whose work has spanned both cross-border deals and regulatory compliance, I wanted to be in a place where I could engage with U.S. law not just in the classroom but through the practical experiences that Columbia and New York make possible.

What has stood out to you about your time at Columbia Law? 

“One of the most meaningful experiences for me happened during course selection. I was interested in exploring tax, but I realized that almost no one around me was planning to take the course. That made me hesitate—I began to wonder whether I should choose a ‘safer’ option instead. I brought these concerns to my academic adviser, expecting a straightforward recommendation. Instead, she encouraged me to separate my genuine interest from my fear of the difficulty or the pressure of comparison. That conversation shifted my mindset: I learned to make decisions based on purpose and curiosity. I try to be more intentional in my choices, more open to uncertainty, and more focused on what I truly want to learn and how I want to grow as a lawyer.”
