Ladies of Law®️⚖️

This evening I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Ladies of Law®️⚖️ members exclusive event hosted by solicitor and founder of The BAME Woman in Law, Hilda Kwoffie, MSc. Thank you to both Hilda and Ella Watts for giving such inspirational and encouraging views on how to build influence within law and a big thank you especially for focussing on imposter syndrome; as someone from a low-income background who is frequently daunted by the costs of the SQE, studying, commuting, etc, as well as trying to get her foot in door in what has been a largely male dominated career discipline for many, many years, imposter syndrome has become an unwanted companion in my journey so far. Your views and experience have reassured me in ways I didn’t know possible! I feel very lucky to be apart of a group of amazing women in law and I’m grateful to have the chance to learn about the legal journey of others💕 - still working on my confidence to speak during online talks though 😬 I’m slowwwwwly coming out of my comfort zone of solely nodding and smiling!

Tonight I had the privilege of being invited to the Women In Law Society Cardiff University Festive Networking event! 🎄✨ As the Founder of the society it was full circle to be invited back as a guest to speak to students all things Acuity Law, Ladies of Law®️⚖️ ,Cardiff and South East Wales JLD, commercial law and the legal profession! It was amazing to share insights into my training contract at Acuity Law and my first seat in Commercial Litigation. Also the experiences I had at Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd over the four years of my legal studies. It was lovely to meet such passionate students keen to pursue a legal career and really listen to the advice I was able to give. Events like these are invaluable to students in order to start building their professional networks and building relationships! Those that connected with me this evening, please do not hesitate to stay in touch and please give me a message if you ever need any support- I will always be a part of the women in law community! Thank you to the committee for this wonderful event! It was lovely to meet you all and chat about all things women in law!🎄✨💗 A reminder that the Acuity Law Training Contract deadline is approaching in January and should you have any questions or queries about the trainee experience please feel free to contact me!✨✉️
