Harry Tan

Future Trainee Solicitor @ Proskauer Rose LLP

About

I am a final-year Law student at UCL with experience across international policy, finance, and regulatory reform. My work experience has spanned government, think tanks, and global law firms, from working on gig-economy policy in Singapore to legal research at various law firms. I am fascinated by how law functions as the architecture that holds markets and institutions together. Having worked with both policymakers and practitioners, my inclination is towards environments where analysis meets execution. I hope to build a career at the intersection of commercial law, regulation, and global development.
