UCD Student, Paige Kelly, wins the 2018 Leman Award in Intellectual Property
Ogier Leman is pleased to announce the winner of the 2018 Leman Award in Intellectual Property, Paige Kelly.
Paige has just completed the Bachelor in Business & Law degree in UCD. Following assessment, Paige was selected as the best performing student in the Intellectual Property module.
Paige was presented with the prestigious award in UCD Sutherland School of Law. The award includes a €500 prize, and an offer of a work placement in Ogier Leman. Paige will continue her studies with a Masters at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School.
This is the 1st prize-giving as part of a 3-year partnership which Ogier Leman has committed to with the UCD Sutherland School of Law. The bursary of €2,000 per year goes towards education materials for the school and €500 goes directly to the best performing student in the IP module.
Brian Conroy, Trademark and Intellectual Property Litigation Specialist is providing mentoring for the winning student and is a guest lecturer for the IP Module in UCD.
In addition to the Intellectual Property Award, Ogier Leman partners with UCD for the UCD Internship Programme where a third-year law student is placed with Leman for four weeks during the summer to gain practical experience.
John Hogan, Partner, Leman said “We are delighted to support the UCD Sutherland School of Law through this bursary. Many of our lawyers have come through the course which we know to be excellent. We know how important it is for students to have real interaction with law firms and practicing lawyers, and to get practical experience before graduating. This programme allows us the opportunity to reward a student and provide a placement in our firm whilst also supporting the school. Paige is an exceptionally bright student with an exciting career ahead of her, she thoroughly deserves the award and we are very pleased to present her with the prize”.
Prof Imelda Maher, UCD Dean of Law said “Support for students to excel is of great importance to the School. It’s also critical for students to have some experience of the practical legal environment so we are very grateful to Ogier Leman for this partnership.”
