Wellington banking and finance solicitor Stacey Lulham has won the 2008 Banking and Financial Services Law Association scholarship.
The AUD$40,000 scholarship funds postgraduate study in banking and finance law and is open to all graduates from across Australasia. It was awarded at the 25th Annual Banking and Financial Services Law and Practice Conference, held in Queenstown in July.
Stacey is the first New Zealander to be awarded this scholarship since Bell Gully senior associate Rachel Paris won it in 2002. She will begin study in the Bachelor of Civil Law programme at Oxford University in September this year.
Stacey, based in Wellington, has been with Bell Gully since 2005 and will return to the firm's Banking and Finance practice on completion of her studies.
