“I cannot express enough gratitude for the opportunities and support Aspiring Solicitors has provided. Participating in the Commercial Awareness Competition, Aspire Programme, and Vacation Scheme initiatives allowed me to develop the skills and confidence necessary to secure two training contract offers.
In particular, in the Apsire programme my coach Anita undertook mock interviews with me, preparing me for the type of questions to expect and helping me master my answering technique. And, the Commercial Awareness Competition let me demonstrate my skills directly to partners in city law firms. The team’s dedication and commitment to diversity in the legal industry is truly making a difference, and I highly recommend this initiative to anyone from an underrepresented background aiming to enter the profession.”
