I studied Classics at Oxford University before completing the GDL, LPC and Masters of Laws in Commercial Legal Practice at BPP. I started as a trainee solicitor at HFW in March 2020.<\/p>\n
As a woman of colour, I understand that entering a field that has typically been dominated by those that fit one specific mould can be very intimidating. Additionally, as the first person in my family to become a solicitor, I also know how difficult it can be to break into law without prior connections or guidance.<\/p>\n
I think it is vitally important that we celebrate diversity and recognise the unique strengths and talents that diverse candidates can bring to law.<\/p>\n
Applying for vacation schemes and training contracts can be a really daunting process and I struggled with it myself. I applied to a whole range of firms so can provide advice about applying to most types of firms. I also applied to HFW with a straight training contract application so I am well placed to help those who are bypassing the vacation scheme route.<\/p>\n
I really want to help others earn their seat at the table so that law can be made more accessible for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13691,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
