I considered studying law at university but I had heard from friends how difficult it was to obtain a solicitor’s training contract on graduation, and that the competition is very fierce. So instead, on leaving school with three A levels, I got a job as a trainee legal executive.

I first got into law at the age of 18, when I got a job as an office junior with Wilkin Chapman LLP.

I am 21 years old and currently manage a team of four in the busy Personal Injury department at Lyons Davidson Solicitors in Leeds. I began working for Lyons Davidson as a Trainee Paralegal just after completing my A Levels.
