I grew up in a poor home in a small apartment, my mother is a housewife while my father was a janitor at a supermarket, my father was a janitor for 21 years working minimun wage most of his career until he found out he was going to be a grandparent, he went back to university where he majored in recreation and leisure, and he went back and got his JD degree, and at 47 years old he became a Lawyer at a firm. Its never to late to get your education. My dad is our role model and im happy that my children will have someone to look up to.

After being employed as a trainee and now owning a firm i can confidently say it is far better to get a training contract with a small firm, learn the ropes inside out, and set up own firm. If you get the location and marketing right believe me you would easily average 10k upwards each month. The best part is working on your own times, take as many holidays off as you need, and you end up building a business for yourself and future generations! As opposed to working in the city for a paycheck, hitting targets all the time, and ass licking others..

[@HDY0903]

Once you taste the freedom of your own business and success you can never go back to being an employee. You realise all employees are just an expense! Its a harsh reality but its the truth. I realised my shit a level grades and my 2.2 degree didnt matter at all. I learnt from high street firms, saved money and invested into my own firm. Best decision ever! I learnt sales, marketing, legal work, google ads, pretty much rverything at a small firm

Anish Sharma you’re literally a man child with the brain of a peanut. It’s because there is a powerful minority of them that are greedy and corrupt. Because financial institutions will crash the economy and the tax payers have to bail them out while they are losing their houses. Lawyers who help write laws to slow businesses to destroy the enviroment or allow financial institutions to get away with horrible things. It’s obviously not everyone, it’s a small fraction of them but when these issues happen they effect large swaths of people. Nobody gives a fuck what car you drive or house you live in.

I am very interested in corporate law and this video was very helpful! Also wanted to mention to all the people that are calling this a boring career or saying its just for the money. That is YOUR opinion, I consider many jobs boring that others might enjoy. For example I work as a tech in a pharmacy and to me being a pharmacist looks like the most boring and unfulfilling job, but that is just MY OPINION. To people who like teamwork, problem-solving, and delegation - this is a career. Maybe solving corporate problems might not be fulfilling for you, but it is to others. So stop your hating :)

A friend of my father was and still is a practising corporate lawyer. He has that 'I know best' archetypical Chinese born again Christian character. But experienced and wise no less. He describes his job being cleaning up after accountants, raining in the start-ups stuck ups and trying to outsmart the old-school Jewish New York lawyers. Mind you that was the 80's. Now he just tells young people to stop signing non-compete agreements. Funny, his generation was what build the corporate form as it is and now trying to educate the public on how not to get totally destroyed by them.

Hey Tony! Yeh - I think law is a tough career and I think you certainly will likely have to make some sacrifices when you first start your career in law!

Practical advice: 1) learn people power dynamics and communication- best resources both books by Oren Klaff and on KZbin find the 3 questions David Snyder uses. The premise is if you can master frames and frame control, and then know how to get info past the reptile brain- you will master any negotiation or convo in general. Or at the very least know wtf is going on in terms of power dynamics. 2. Block a 2-4hr dedicated study pomodoro session per day - you can find a lot of study with me vids on KZbin of medics, chemical engineers and probably also lawyer trainees so you won’t feel alone. If you focus this time to pursuing your goal, the momentum here will make you unstoppable. Everything you want to accomplish is on the other side of getting through this session. 3. Further systemise and routine things to make what you want to achieve easier. For example- you reaching any goal is a consequence of doing the right things in the right order, whilst having fun and enjoying the process so you don’t burn out. James Clear author of atomic has done a lot of interviews on KZbin you can check out to get the premise overall. You can get the book too but the KZbin interviews will suffice. 4. Your appearance, self care and self image matter. The reason why your appearance matters is because humans take info from their environment via sense organs to determine if something is a threat. Your heirachy position is subtly communicated through your dress, grooming and posture. (Think to suits episode when Harvey openly states the importance of looking good). This is built into our biology. The appearance of power is a good book on this as a start point of you are Male. Your growth and abilities will never out grow your self image and how you perceive yourself in your own head. This is why you will see guys and girls start to progress and then shoot themselves in the foot and ruin their progression- because on a subconscious level it doesn’t line up with how they truly view themselves. Three resources that helped me fix this. 1) book : psycho-cybernetics 2) book: Relentless by Grover (mental coach for Kobe, Jordan, Pippin, etc) 3)David Snyder KZbin self image (free). The David Snyder stuff on this may seem a bit hippie woo woo bull shit, but fuck, it worked for me. Then combining it with the other resources above, I’ve never looked back. As you grow more this will become more important especially as you enter increasingly competitive industries and environments. People will try to put insecurity and self doubt into you. This will make you iron against it. 5. Email people at firms to ask for a quick 5 min call to find out more advice about the industry. Get a LinkedIn profile and message people in the fields you want through that. Have the grit and balls to try this and don’t be disheartened. With you being young this will definitely show character, and a go getter mentality. Hardly anyone ever reaches out to these people, and worst they will do is ignore you. No professional wants to shit on a 15yr old kid who is asking for guidance. Anything else, just reply and I’ll respond :)

I know I want to do law, and I know I want to work my way up a firm I just don’t know where to start

[@roseymosqueda769]

This was extremely helpful.

Hi, how do you recommend becoming a Corporate lawyer??? Like GCSES etc.

[@liam.porritt]

Hey Jochebed! Thanks a lot for commenting! Ummm... I really don't think it matters too much what GCSE subjects you do, or even what A-levels you do! However, it is obviously helpful to get the best results you can... but I mean, that kinda goes without saying. In terms of practical advice, I think the best thing you can do is actively go out of your way to get legal work experience. That is generally what differentiates candidates with good academic results from one another = having got work experience displays that you care enough to go out of your way to try and get experience in the legal sector, and that counts for a lot :)

@@liam.porritt Hi Liam! Thank you so much for this advice

[@voutoo7899]

Love the video have to admit

[@shinyp2966]

i love the concept of this video but i think we don't hear clearly your voice because of the background music it is too loud

[@CJCVictoriaDC]

Corporate Lawyer for a large tech company in Silicon Valley. My focus is mergers & acquisitions. Let me know if you have questions.

[@arindhamgupta913]

You should lower the background music and increase your voice a little more. It’s really difficult to hear what you were saying

[@adambob3123]

Hey! I really need your help! How many years would it take for someone to become a corporate lawyer, because I saw it takes around 6 years, but I hope it will not be more than 4-5 years for a corporate lawyer? Looking forward to hearing from you!

[@covfefe1787]

This video is insightful especially as a 16 almost 17 year planning to go to law school what do you recommend for undergraduate degree pre law for corporate law

[@liam.porritt]

Choose other career my friend- best suggestion

[@Essays4College]

Corporate law is a boring career but, for the average person that doesn't know any better, it seems like the greatest job in the world.

* in your opinion

[@hateher1248]

Can you re-upload this video with lower background music? I couldn’t understand anything

[@ronaldduarte8300]

Office, office, and more office. Got it

[@klaudiagrob]

I have a dreamt about legal career but unfortunately failed in accomplishing this goal.

[@roboliver9980]

While since I watched the show but no. I recall watching thinking I’m pretty sure a lawyer would get struck off for X, Y Z. Then there’s the show claiming he’s a master of several branches of law. Top lawyers specialise.

[@dilyangoldsmith8218]

I currently study Law at Royal Holloway and I take the train everyday from North Greenwich. It’s crazy that on the other side of the river there are lawyers. I’m interested to get into Property or Corporal Law... I guess time will tell

[@chatwixx9899]

Amazing background music couldn’t hear a word

[@casualty14]

My question is If you straight go to law school and you graduate at 21 as a corporate lawyer are you qualified straight away when your 21?

[@dantaphaibietluatta5745]

Thanks

[@dread_w5611]

[@mtisboss2775]
