I previously sat in B1 (Real Estate Finance and General Corporate Lending) and the Global Securities Group.<\/p>\n<p>I attended a state school in Leicester and I am the first generation of my family to go to university. Before reaching university, I had no legal connections and was unsure of how to pursue a career in commercial law. I joined Aspiring Solicitors during my first year at university and I was fortunate enough to participate in both a legal work experience placement and the Aspire Coaching Programme. The support and guidance provided by my Aspire Mentor throughout the application process was invaluable in helping me to secure a vacation scheme at the legacy firm, A&amp;O, in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>For me, diversity is important because it allows individuals with different experiences to work together to find alternative solutions to complex issues. A diverse workforce benefits from a creativity of thought and is ultimately better equipped to anticipate and respond to challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>I understand the challenge of gaining commercial experience and I am more than happy to answer any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12835,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ashlie K | A&amp;O Shearman | Aspiring Solicitors - Law Careers Diversity Advice<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I am a Trainee Solicitor at A&amp;O Shearman and I am currently sitting in B5 (Projects, Energy and Infrastructure) for my third seat.
