I got promoted to associate at my law firm 🎉

It's 8 years since I started at Cambridge as a sheltered 18-year-old with no idea what leaving home would be like, worried if I'd meet people I really got on with, and terrified about the mountains of studying ahead of me (4 years of French and Spanish, I didn't have any idea the law studies I'd end up doing at that point). But, finally, in August 2022, I became a solicitor in England and Wales. I began the next leg of my lawyer journey, starting as an associate in the Clifford Chance corporate team 😊
In this video, I celebrate the fact I am now OFFICIALLY a proper lawyer. And then I reflect on what it took to get here, where I see my career going and what life as an associate is likely to be like. So yeh, thanks so much for making it this far on my journey as a lawyer, creator and entrepreneur - can't wait to share the next leg of my journey with you wonderful people 🙌

About Me
I'm a trainee lawyer, part-time KZbinr, son, brother, startup founder, boyfriend, black coffee drinker and plant dad. I graduated from Cambridge University (where I studied French and Spanish), topped my law school class and now work for a corporate law firm in London as a trainee solicitor (which takes up a lot of my time)!
Around that, I'm a big fan of discovering new ways of thinking, of balancing work with life, and of performing to the very best of my ability. Ohh, and being happy. And I try to share all that on this KZbin channel 😀
Fun fact: I believe we massively overplay the role of “natural talent” 😮 AND… I also believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.

[@maazmunir9213]

for those of us who've been with you for a few years , this is so inspiring! congrats Liam!!

[@Whatmaryworewhen]

Congratulations Liam. I'm a Corporate Lawyer too and have watched you for a few years now. You've done amazingly well, and I am sure the future will be even brighter. I love your content so please do find time to keep posting - Associate life is really busy like you said but please keep your KZbin passion. Well done and all the best.

[@liam.porritt]

Thank you so so much Tolulope :)

[@thankunext1625]

Congrats Liam! I know you were working hard for this. You are such an inspiration, look forward to seeing your journey, life lessons, and more successes in the future!

[@raeyscorner]

Found your account last year and you really have been inspiring me in my legal career. To see you finally become a solicitor is so amazing and i'm so happy for you!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS LIAM!!!

[@liam.porritt]

Thank you so so much!! Massively appreciate your support!!

[@PhamMinhThu276]

it feels surreal to witness your journey from being a student to a qualified solicitor. Congrats Liam!!

[@janesmith9024]

Well done. I was 23 (as I was a year young at school, read law at university (so no conversion year) and had no gap year -one of only 15 people in the UK to qualify at age 23 a very long time ago). 3 of my solicitor children were, or will be when they qualify, age 25 (and the 4th was 26). It is a lot of work and a huge achievement. People are also very lucky that LP shares all this with them. I am also very glad LP seems to be so happy about it as far too many people are cynical and not happy. I can honestly say 44 years after I went to university to study law aged 17 I still find it to this day really interesting and a rewarding career and hope I can continue it into my 80s. I was not kept on at the firm where I trained, unlike LP here. However I then went immediately from that firm to just about the best firm in the UK instead. So even when things do not work out, sometimes it can be for the best.

[@liam.porritt]

Thank you so much (as always) for your insights, Jane! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts here - and it's inspiring for me to hear from you saying that you have continued to enjoy life as a lawyer, as I agree far too many people love to moan, when we are very lucky people indeed! I hope you are well and thank you again :)

[@mossadagent1576]

Well done! It's been lovely to follow your journey over the past few years :) I'm looking forward to your 'making partner video' in the next 5-10 years.

Means a lot to all of us!!!

Congratulations Liam!!! Whooo Fabulous!! Looking forward to seeing you excel! Thank youuuu so much for sharing your journey!

[@EdwardSHS]

I started off in M&A and it was full on from day one. I actively dabbled in IP cause of my interest in tech but it’s very engaging. Something that constantly keeps you interested and on your toes much like competition law which is sort of comparable depending which part of the world you are from. Let’s just say a lot of days without sleep or barely any and many pressure situations 😂

[@aliyardim895]

Liam I have been following your videos for such a long time, You've genuinely inspired me to restart my education in Law and I'm now heading to Uni! I wanted to congratulate you on your achievement and wish you the absolute best for the future.
