Aaliya Chug

Aaliya is a final-year law student at King’s College London, where she combines the intensity of legal education with practical experience at leading law firms globally, including DLA Piper and Kochhar & Co. Her work has spanned Employment Law, Intellectual Property & Technology, Litigation, and Criminal Law, giving her an international perspective on the legal profession while still a student. Navigating both academia and the professional world, Aaliya has first-hand insight into the excitement, uncertainty, and pressures of transitioning from student to young professional. These experiences sparked her interest in understanding how mindset shapes the way we respond to challenge, adapt to change, and grow through discomfort. Aaliya believes that success is not about avoiding pressure but learning to navigate it with resilience, self-awareness, and purpose. She hopes to inspire students and young professionals to embrace uncertainty, reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth, and discover the confidence to thrive in even the most demanding environments.
