"The advice you need. The honesty you deserve. The cost you can afford."
Straight from the Bar.
Straight to the point.
As a practising barrister called to the Bar of England and Wales (Lincoln's Inn), a current recruiter at a Tier 1 barristers' chambers in London, an advocacy trainer for lawyers at two of the world's leading law firms, other commercial law firms in London, the South East, Bristol and the Midlands, and a holder of an Executive MBA from Bayes Business School, I bring something no generic advisory service can offer: genuine dual fluency in both the legal and business worlds — across LLB, LLM, LPC, BPTC, and Bar applications.
I work with YourStudyAdvisor to support students through their UK applications, completely free of charge, because I believe the right guidance shouldn't depend on what you can afford.
My edge isn't a template or a checklist — it's knowing what UK institutions are actually looking for, and understanding legal and business career pathways from the inside.

Unmatched Expertise
for Your Success.
My authority comes from having been inside the institutions and processes I'm advising on — not from reading about them.
Barrister
Called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn (2006). Active practice in family law, international family law, Court of Protection, and regulatory/professional discipline. Not a former lawyer — a current one. I am a Deputy Head of Team regularly sitting on recruitment panels for trainee and established barristers. I know exactly what selection panels look for — because I am on one.
Advocacy Trainer
Trained solicitors at two of the world's leading law firms and other commercial law firms in London, the South East, Bristol and the Midlands. Dual fluency in both the Bar and the solicitor's world.
Former Co-convener of a Pupillage and Mentoring Committee at a top-tier barristers' chambers, where I oversaw the recruitment, training and supervision of pupil barristers.
Executive MBA, Bayes Business School
A postgraduate business qualification from one of the UK's top business schools — giving me genuine fluency across both law and business career pathways.
A Lifelong Learner
I took the traditional route: LLB, then LLM, then called to the Bar. Years into full-time practice, I chose to go back — completing an Executive MBA at Bayes Business School alongside an active barrister's caseload. It wasn't the easiest path. It was the right one. That commitment to continuous learning shapes everything I do for the students I work with.
Education Advisor
Working with YourStudyAdvisor — a British Council registered education advisory service — to widen access to quality guidance for UK university and professional qualification applications, delivered completely free of charge.
What students say
Here's what students and clients say about their experience working with Artis.
"Artis gave me the most direct and useful feedback I had received throughout my entire application process. She didn't tell me what I wanted to hear — she told me what I needed to hear. My personal statement was completely transformed after one session."
"I had no idea what pupillage committees actually looked for in a candidate. After speaking with Artis — who had co-run one — I understood exactly how to present myself. I secured a first-round interview within weeks."
"The tutoring was a level above anything I'd accessed before. Artis explains complex legal concepts with real-world examples from practice — not just from textbooks. My LLB exam results improved significantly."
"I was torn between the LPC and SQE route and had received conflicting advice from everyone. Artis gave me a clear, structured breakdown of both options in the context of my specific career goals. Exactly what I needed."
