Michelmores awards 2015 land law prize

South West law firm Michelmores LLP has awarded Kelly Newman, a third-year student at Exeter University with its 2015 Land Law prize for achieving the best results in her year – Kelly scored an impressive 78/100.

The Firm has been awarding the Land Law prize to the student with the best performance on that course at Exeter University for over 20 years.

Kelly was presented with a certificate and a cheque for her achievement at a celebratory lunch at Michelmores' Exeter office – joined by Partner Joanna Damerell and Solicitor Holly Dobbins from the Real Estate team.

Kelly is now entering her third year at Exeter University, studying LLB Law with a Masters in French Law.

Commenting on her achievement, she said: "I really enjoyed the Land Law course and found it so interesting that I did a lot of additional reading, which I think really helped me to achieve the marks I did.

Having completed a variety of internships and work experience placements, I have developed a keen interest in commercial law and I hope to enter this area of the law after I graduate. I'm very grateful to Joanna and Holly for taking the time to have lunch with me and giving me an insight into commercial real estate and property law."
