A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SOLICITOR APPRENTICE | My Legal Career

A day in my life as a solicitor apprentice working remotely! Head over to my TikTok to see a day in the life in the office (@mylegalcareer).
I am a third Level 7 Solicitor Apprentice but I am four years into my apprenticeship journey with an international law firm. I go to university every Monday and work full-time in the team’s Civil Litigation and Commercial Dispute Resolution team Tuesday - Friday. I am due to qualify in 2024.
I want to share my non-traditional legal journey to qualification and give aspiring lawyers an insight into my life as a solicitor apprentice.
I have lots of videos planned, including: how I obtained my apprenticeship, my personal journey and apprenticeship application tips! Please be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss them! Don’t hesitate to comment any content requests below.

What stands out most about her is her ability to confront challenges with unwavering resolve. Instead of allowing setbacks to define her, she uses them as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Her resilience in the face of adversity serves as a reminder that no obstacle is insurmountable with the right mindset and determination. Moreover, she possesses a rare gift for lifting others up. Whether through her words of encouragement, acts of kindness, or simply by being a beacon of positivity, she has a profound impact on those around her. Her generosity knows no bounds, and she is always ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. Yet, what truly inspires me about her is her authenticity. She remains true to herself and her values, unswayed by external pressures or expectations. Her genuine nature serves as a guiding light, encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness and live authentically - the Norwegian singer Sigrid. I guess this girl is doing great in this video! What is it - legal apprenticeships? I mean, we've all been there, grinding, pushing past 9 to 5, or not yet?

My dad is an employment lawyer in central London, so this is incredibly interesting to see. You’re very passionate about your career which is amazing because if you’re not passionate about it, it’s very hard to thrive and persevere. Without a doubt you’ll be very successful and go very far, you go the extra mile and do way more than what’s expected. All the best to you and good luck! You’re absolutely smashing it. If only more people took their careers seriously like you, this world would be a much better place.

Hello Thomas, thank you very much for the wonderful words! Very kind of you. Fully agreed re being passionate. I’m glad you found it interesting, I did think that perhaps those already with an insight into law may find it intriguing to know more about being a solicitor apprentice and the workload. I do hope to get to the city one day!

As someone who is currently doing an apprenticeship as a courthouse secretary, I have so much respect for the people actually dealing with the law/legal part of the cases. Keep up the good work! :)

I love this format of video)) many others show predictable things how it is amazing to be lawyer, how it is difficult etc.. and not specific details what is exactly lawyers have to do behind their desk)) For me as an experienced lawyer in another legal system of codified law this is very very interesting to observe the real everyday legal process)) Thank you, you inspire me a lot))

Hi! Could you please explain the different types of solicitor? I’m considering an apprenticeship in this career but how does it branch out into different sectors. For example solicitors that deal with victims of crime vs employment solicitors. Could you just explain a bit more about that and the different options available please?

[@isobelculf9704]

Hiya! New subscriber here🥰 absolutely loved this video, and love your channel also. I’m looking into an apprenticeship as a solicitor apprentice. How did you get into this? Xx

[@juliaweston5010]

Well done you queen xxx

[@MyLegalCareer]

Thank you my lovely! Xx

[@ethanjw2005]

Hiya may I ask what gcse and alevels did you do and what requirements did you need to do the solicitor apprentice?

[@1Solange]

Great video very in depth I loved it !! Also if you don’t mind me asking what did you study for A level and how did that influence your choice to study law at university?

[@MyLegalCareer]

Thank you! So glad you loved it. I studied law, psychology and English literature. I just absolutely loved the study of law and also the practice after completing some work experience!

[@khaledemara1517]

[@bethanythompson4098]

Considering you started after your a levels, this is a degree apprenticeship right?

[@vimkndll4171]

Dear madam .currently iam doing master in computer science .my relative have restaurent in London as to extend my visa they are planning to apply for sponsor license to sponsor me . But I am from different field ( computer science ) will I get a work visa ? whats the probability of having sponsorship from restaurent after a completing degree.?please

[@Black.Sabbath]

I've been told that you can complete a 1 year conversion degree following an unrelated degree... is this equal to that?

[@suniyamahmood5449]

Are you generally free on the weekends? I’m considering doing a solicitor apprenticeship but I’m worried I won’t have a work life balance

[@roxx8182]

I know some law firms such as High Street law firms only work from 9-5 or 9-6 ensuring they provide a good work life balance for their employees. I've finished my law degree and hoping to become a solicitor soon but I want a good work life balance and that's what I'm going to look for when searching where to work x

[@MyLegalCareer]

Yes! I’m good at managing my time. Although this changes during exam season, which is to be expected

[@ahmedchand]

Which law firm do you work for?

[@TikJimmi]

Roses red, violets blue, Sun and moon, always in view. In your eyes, I see what's true, What we could do, are you free on Friday too? Let's shine like a disco ball, just me and you, To a bond so strong, so real, so true.
