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 CZcamsr, 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 CZcams 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.

Thank you so so much!! Massively appreciate your support!!
Liam, congratulations on the big milestone mate and wishing you the best ahead. Look forward to watch your journey ahead.
Thank you so so much :)
I am in tears!! I am so so so HAPPY FOR YOU!!! :)
Congrats Liam! Wishing you all the best...
Well done Liam, super proud of you!
Congrats Liam!! We’re all so proud of you and to work at CC - a law firm well renowned, is one hell of an accomplishment!
Thank you so so much Katarina :) I massively appreciate your support and kind words!
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.
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 :)
Congratulations! I would love a video about different areas of law and pros/cons of choosing that area I’m considering starting my Law journey at 26 but finding it hard to get good info about practicing in different areas in the UK!
Congratulations mate and I hope you have a blessed career
You deserve it (; Congrats Liam, hope you make a lot of more good content for us
Congratulations on qualifying. I always find your videos inspiring and fun. Your organisation tips are the best 😎🎉👍
Thank you so much!
Congratulations Liam. You will be a real asset to the corporate law team at Clifford Chance.
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.
Thanks so much for commenting Ali :) Massively appreciate the support and wish you all the best at uni and beyond!!
