Lincoln Wee PhD, 1996

Independent consultant

Hi, I'm Lincoln Wee and I studied PhD within Southampton Law School at the University of Southampton.

Remember that it is not just what you learn or how you learn it, but also what you do with what you have learnt.. how you return to society to contribute. That is what makes Southampton special.

He now operates as an independent consultant advising various governments on issues concerning private and public international law and cross-border transactions.
