“Aspiring Solicitors has been absolutely instrumental in my legal development and I am truly grateful for the breadth of their programmes. Comprehensive programmes, like AS First and Aspire, helped me understand crucial skills required by lawyers. Access to valuable open days, such as the AS Women in Law Event and firm-specific events, allowed insight into the legal world.
I gained invaluable, tangible legal work experience with leading organisations through bespoke AS programmes, such as the Barclays Think Talent Programme and the Formula 1 Vacation Scheme, and focused on legal development within in-house and firm environments through the Ashurst & Société Générale Mentoring Scheme.
The Commercial Awareness Competition built my commercial acumen, presenting and teamwork skills and allowed access to several Vacation Schemes and work experiences. Being an AS member has absolutely transformed my legal career and I would highly recommend it to all.”
