Profile:

I am a Trainee Solicitor at TLT’s London office, having started my training contract in September 2023. I was fortunate enough to be on the AS Aspire scheme in 2020 which helped me secure an in-person vacation scheme at TLT in Spring 2022.

I studied history at the University of Warwick, and I decided late on in my degree that I wanted to become a commercial lawyer. Aspiring Solicitors was a massive factor in helping me to bridge the gap to applying for vacation schemes and training contracts. As someone with a long-term health condition, I was worried that this would prove to be a barrier to pursuing a career in law. However, after taking part in an AS Mentoring scheme I was presently surprised to encounter lawyers who actively thrive with disabilities or long-term health conditions in the industry.

Aspiring Solicitors has been a massive support during my legal career journey. This included mentoring and application guidance as part of the Aspire programme, taking part in the Commercial Awareness Competition 2021, and the Headstart scheme ahead of my TLT vacation scheme.

I am honoured to now be a Professional Ambassador at an inclusive firm like TLT. I’m happy to answer any questions on working at TLT, the application process, seeking reasonable adjustments during applications and in the workplace, adapting to life as a trainee, or anything else that you would like to ask!

It is important to me that diversity also extends to helping people overcome barriers that other people may not see as well as other more visible diversity strands. I’ve always felt that embracing my condition has helped me demonstrate skills that I would not otherwise have been able to express. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions.
