Davis LLP/Associate, Securities & Corporate Finance at DLA Piper (Canada) LLP

Hi, I'm Marek Lorenc and I studied within Southampton Law School at the University of Southampton.

Studying Law at the University of Southampton was a great experience not only because of the tremendous quality of the faculty and staff, but also because it affords many opportunities to learn.

I am currently an Associate at DLA Piper (Canada) LLP practicing Securities & Corporate Finance and Mergers & Acquisitions. The clients that we work for cover the spectrum from small private issuers to large cap public issuers, predominantly in the oil and gas sector.

Studying at the University of Southampton was a great experience, not only from an academic perspective but also with respect to extra-curriculars. While at the University of Southampton I made sure to make the most of my spare time. I was involved in several extra-curricular activities including acting as President of the University of Southampton Investment Society and Law Society, both of which were excellent opportunities, and I also took the time to travel around Europe on weekends when cheap flights were available! I believe these kinds of activities and experiences help to round individuals and certainly give you a leg up in the real world.
