Listen "#8 Principal Associate (Solicitor)"
Episode Synopsis
Kirsty qualified as a Solicitor 14 years ago and is now a Principal Associate and Solicitor specialising in Real Estate at Shoosmiths - a leading national law firm. In this episode Lynsey has a really honest conversation with Kirsty about the competitive nature of gaining a place on a training contract, how work experience is vital when trying to get in to Law and that by being nice to colleagues, clients and work acquaintances, can lead to job opportunities. As a fellow working Mum, Lynsey talks to Kirsty about how she has managed her career and her career progression around her family and how balance is not only a priority of hers, but of the firm that she works for too.
