"Should I become a lawyer?" is a question you've maybe asked yourself. Or maybe you've just watched Suits and wonder what being a lawyer is really like. Well, in this video I ask a Clifford Chance solicitor, Al, about PAY, ETHICS, HOURS, HIERARCHY and WORK-LIFE BALANCE. I followed him round for the day and tried to get as realistic an insight as possible into what a day in the life of a Clifford Chance lawyer is really like!
Plus: hopefully this video may help you avoid the following...
“Why do you want to be a lawyer?” asks the interviewer; “I watched Suits, and Harvey, Mike and Rachel are all bosses”, of course is not the reply that any SUCCESSFUL candidate will give. BUT if we’re honest, excitement, money and the chance to be at the heart of huge business deals IS what draws most people to corporate law. But is this the reality?
I'm a trainee lawyer studying in London. I graduated from Cambridge, speak French and Spanish and don’t believe in “natural talent” 😮 BUT... I do believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.
