"My integration into the team was seamless as the team were very welcoming and inviting. I think it helped that I baked and often brought in brownies and cakes. "
"I didn't go to university, I started my career at the bottom of the ladder and with the massive help and financial support of the firm worked my way up to qualification. "
"I'm the first in my family to enter the legal profession - I changed my career from hairdressing to law. I believe it's never too late to set a new goal or dream. Never let anyone tell you, you can’t do it!"
"If I was asked 10 years ago when I left university about where I thought I would be at this point of my life, I never would have guessed that I would be living in Leeds and training to be a solicitor. I’m proud to be part of the apprenticeship scheme, and think it’s important that people are aware that there are many ways to qualify as a lawyer and that there’s likely to be a scheme that can work for you."
"In October 2017, I was promoted to a paralegal position and in January 2019, I started my training contract. I qualified as a solicitor in July 2020 and I remain in this role today."
