No5’s Afiya Amesu has been awarded the prestigious Pegasus Scholarship from The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple.

The Scholarship has been specially created to enable qualified UK Barristers to gain key insights into the inner workings of the legal systems in other jurisdictions.

Afiya will travel to Washington, D.C., in October for the six-week Scholarship and will work with the American Inns of Court, building pipelines and sharing knowledge between UK and US practitioners.

Afiya’s Practice Director, William Theaker, said, “This is a brilliant opportunity for Afiya and is well deserved. We are all extremely proud of Afiya and congratulate her on this amazing achievement”
