Legally Speaking Podcast

Can you really qualify as a lawyer without having to go down the traditional route?
⁠
Alternative pathways to qualifying as a lawyer are gaining popularity as more people look for ways to enter the legal profession without the traditional route of law school...⁠
⁠
There are lots of alternative roles such as becoming a paralegal or legal secretary within a law firm but with the likes of CILEx and CLC qualifications turning heads as a great alternative to the LPC... is there really another route that could simplify the process for so many youngsters dreaming of a career in law?⁠
This week, we're chatting with Holly Moore, founder of 'thatlawblog' and the first in-house solicitor apprentice in the UK working at ITV. As part of her 6-year apprenticeship, she spent 6 months as a secondee at a city law firm, in their intellectual property litigation team. Holly is now a Legal Advisor at ITV, in the brand protection team. She is also a Junior Board Member at The O Shaped Lawyer.
