Life as a corporate lawyer is intense - lots of good, some bad, and nearly always busy. So, today, I’m prioritising self-care, as well as doing some work on a big M&A deal and squeezing in a bit of time for my CZcams channel 😊
Spending quality time with Beth, my family and friends is one of my biggest focuses for 2024. If you asked me what’s most important to me in life, I’d obviously tell you it’s the people I love... but I’ve not generally been great over the last couple of years at reflecting that in how I’ve spent my time. So, today, around the stuff I have to do, I’m recharging with my mum and Beth, going on a lovely countryside walk and cooking together 🤗

About Me
I'm a lawyer, part-time CZcamsr, son, brother, startup founder, fiancé, 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.

Thanks so much to Dropbox for sponsoring this video 😀
I think this exemplifies the importance of finding the right partner. Many would be upset that you still work on the weekend, but Beth understands it and helps you as well.
I know I’d be upset
Same here
I'm pretty sure Beth knows that the more she supports him now the more comfortable life she will have as their life goes on.
I'd like a woman like Beth
Beth works too. On their business. Making money together. Wonderful couple ❤
I really enjoy videos like this that are more vlog style, would love to see more of your life as a lawyer!
I’m a corporate law clerk (in Ontario, clerks are the main assistants to lawyers since paralegals can practice small claims law) and I can’t believe how busy the last 6 months have been.
Hi Liam! I really enjoyed your video! I've just started working as a public defender, so things can feel hectic. It's lovely to see the tips and schedules you've built for yourself and work for you. Hope you and beth have a lovely week:)
I was shocked to see you only had 900 subs when I saw the first video of yours I caught. Incredibly valuable videos! Thank you. I’d love to see more specifics around how you have used the automations from make in other businesses that are in other spaces.
Hi Liam, I enjoy the content of every single video you post. Keep up the good work buddy, a viewer from Canada
Great one!
Great video as always! I thought I was the only one with broken keys on the Logitech MX keys keyboard 😂
What kind of tips you r going to give for junior lawyers ... ??
Awesome Liam 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love your content
Sister left Allen and Overy last year. No loyalty and path to partner is a lottery. She now runs her own business in private equity making 3x what she made before and far less stress
what kind of business??
@@harmf3002 real estate private equity. US firm in London
A lot of screentime there on a Sunday no outing?? Enjoying london shopping partyingetc
Just wondering are you T-total?
What food r u eating at noon
Is there any scary bit about your job that you think..oh it's going to be fucked up?
Im surprised you dont type with a 10 finger system😅
Was hoping this guy would be as cool as Harvey Specter 😭😭(joking Fr)
Hi Liam, I started following you in your uni days and always loved your videos. I have to say though that this type of lifestyle is not healthy at all. Working hours and hours during the week plus working weekends is ridiculous. Maybe try and find balance, read a book or two about optimizing time because this can only lead to burnout and is not at all a good example for your audience.
Its all preference, there is no one size fits all approach to balance. You must imagine Sisyphus happy.
@@abdisemed9640 Not really a thing of preference, there is a reason why it’s a 40h working week, or why some people work even less in like the 4-hour workweek (great book by Tim Ferris). This, what he’s doing, is just excessive.
Nobody said it is not his choice but he is a role model/influence for his audience and should be careful about what he preaches. Just my opinion.@@sebkesumavlog
@@katarinamarinkovic8661 he is literally showcasing HIS life. At no point did he say his audience should follow in his foot steps. If an audience member wants this lifestyle because of his videos then that’s their problem. You can’t heal blame for your life decisions on a legal influencer wtf
@@Toetothunder I disagree, sorry.
'Promosm' 👍
Just a light note comment. I think everyone who is working should have two kids to take care of to make it a level playing field for everyone
