Hey Guys!

Today we would like to tell you about our wonderful coaches for ⭐️ Price Media Law Moot Court Competition ⭐️

Price Moot Court Competition will be traditionally coached by Yuliia Pidlisna and Varelia Turchyk. 🤩

Our coaches began their Price journey together back in 2017 when in their first mooting year they reached octofinals at the International Rounds in Oxford.🇬🇧🏅

Following another year of joint participation, Yuliia and Valeria have been with the moot in different roles until today.
What can better describe the incredible experience Price can give you?!😯🥳

Last year under their guidance our team won the Best Memorial award at the Central Eastern Europe Regional Rounds, while one team member scored as a top 6 speaker.⭐️🏆 There was overall 12 teams at the rounds so it was a tough challenge.

Apart from being dedicated members of the Price family, our coaches do not sit idle.😁

Yuliia is a Real Estate Associate with AVELLUM, a top Ukrainian law firm. 😎Currently, she is finishing her LLM at University College London as a Chevening scholar.🇬🇧

She also greatly enjoys travelling, history books and meeting like-minded people with a good sense of humour. ✈️📚🙋🏻‍♀️

Valeria has also coached Central European Moot Court Competition, and participated in ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition (in Paris🤩) and various national moots. 😮

Valeria enjoys all of the things Yuliia listed, so that’s probably why they stayed as a team for so many years and will be coaching Price together again.😅

In the first photo, you can see our coaches proudly standing in front of Mansfield College, Oxford in 2019. 🇬🇧😯 It was the last pre-pandemic International Rounds and their team competed in Oxford as the winners of the North East Europe Region. ⭐️🏆

In the second photo, our coaches finally returned to the offline rounds in Budapest, in 2022. That year International Rounds remained online, so Yuliia and Valeria are still really eager to return to that iconic photo spot in Oxford. We bet you want to join them. 💫😍

Please do not hesitate to approach them if you have any questions regarding Price or mooting in general.
Yuliia and Valeria would be more than happy to share their undying love for moot courts.🥰❤️
