Hi, Miles here!<\/p>\n
I am currently a trainee at Taylor Wessing LLP, an international law firm focussed on technology and promoting diversity within the legal sector.<\/p>\n
I was state school educated and grew up in a single parent household, with a mother that worked three jobs to keep my brother and I going. After achieving poorly in my first year of A-levels, I quickly understood that if I wanted something, I was going to have to work for it.<\/p>\n
Self-motivated, I managed to turn my grades around from a CDDE to an AAAC and eventually graduated from Lancaster University with a first in Law, attaining 100% in my dissertation.<\/p>\n
Despite my academic success, I found it extremely difficult to get my foot in the door of any law firm. It wasn’t until I came across Chris White and Aspiring Solicitors that things really started to change. Without Aspiring Solicitors, I can whole heartedly say that I wouldn’t be where I am today \u2013 training at Taylor Wessing in the tech sector that I love.<\/p>\n
Through being an AS Ambassador, I hope that I too can help others from non-traditional backgrounds in the same way Aspiring Solicitors helped me.<\/p>\n
So, keep working at it, say yes to every opportunity and please get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8933,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
