Growing up in rural Lincolnshire, I attended my local state school with little thought about pursuing a career in the City, but I was always a bit of a bookworm. I became interested in politics and history and ended up studying both subjects at the London School of Economics.<\/p>\n
I found the work engaging and I enjoyed living in a global city and meeting people from all over the world. I began to consider a career in law. But, at university and in the legal profession, I was unusual in coming from a state school, working during my studies and had grown up in a part of the UK that most of my fellow students hadn\u2019t heard of. As a result, I didn\u2019t always feel like I \u2018fitted in\u2019 and developed imposter syndrome. I stuck at it, but ended up completing the GDL during the pandemic, graduating into a non-existent jobs market. I secured work outside of law, during which time I was fortunate enough to be offered a training contract. Fast-forward to 2023. I have started training at TLT \u2013 and I\u2019m really enjoying it. I knew when I first attended an insight day with the firm that it was the right cultural fit for me \u2013 and completing the vacation scheme affirmed my choice. I felt I could bring my whole self to work, and that all my experiences were valued.<\/p>\n
TLT has been recognised in the top 75 employers in the Social Mobility Employer Index 2023. We also have an active Social Mobility Network. I am now keen to pay forward the support I\u2019ve received. I understand the difficulties in securing a training contract and I am happy for you to get in touch if you are interested in joining TLT or seeking general advice about entering the profession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25241,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
