As I near the 3 month mark of being a legal support assistant I reflect on the vast knowledge and skills that I have been able to engage with within a relatively short time span. Here are some skills that have stood out to me as an LSA: - Problem Solving: to those who have completed a law degree like myself you may have been exposed to law in a very academic capacity, applying that law to real clients and real life scenarios is definitely a step further. Clients will have different needs, situations and goals which you will have to work with alongside ensuring that a matter is compliant, this is not always straightforward and requires problem solving and sometimes a bit of creative thinking. But it sure makes it a fun challenge! - Relationship management: this applies to both clients and colleagues. You have to give these relationships the time and energy they deserve! Fee earners have built these strong professional relationships for years but what you get in return is effective collaboration as well as mutual respect and trust in each others roles. I could go on but I am aware of my habit of long posts! I just want to acknowledge the support and dedication of my team in allowing me the time and guidance to enhance these skills and more. Thank you to my wonderful colleagues 😊 #HCRLaw #HCRLife #Relationshipmanagement #CommericalLaw #ProblemSolving

Last week, I had an amazing opportunity to participate in a work experience programme at Thursfields Solicitors. During this time, I engaged with a diverse group of senior and trainee solicitors. This experience gave me valuable insights into their professional journeys, daily responsibilities, and various legal sectors. As a law student, my lack of legal work experience has left me uncertain about my career path. I often pondered whether any law firm would offer me an opportunity and felt anxious about interview questions, particularly those related to my commercial awareness. However, my time at Thursfields dispelled these concerns. I encountered several trainee solicitors who had secured training contracts and other legal roles without legal experience. This realisation significantly boosted my confidence and highlighted that legal work experience, while beneficial, is not the sole determinant of success. The solicitors provided real-world examples of how commercial considerations influence legal strategies and client advice. For instance, we discussed how general elections can impact employment law and the subsequent adjustments solicitors need to make in response. These discussions emphasised that being commercially aware involves not only staying updated on legal developments but also understanding how these developments intersect with and influence broader business realities. One particularly impactful moment was a conversation with a trainee solicitor Orlagh Finnegan and Leonnie B. a real estate paralegal during a networking lunch. I shared my five years of customer service experience and my concerns about its relevance to a legal career. They reassured me that I possess fundamental skills essential for a solicitor, such as problem-solving, active listening, clear communication, and empathy—pivotal attributes when engaging with clients. This conversation was impactful because it reassured me about the value and transferability of my current skills to the legal profession. Overall, my time at Thursfields was filled with valuable insights and personal growth, providing an enlightening experience that bolstered my determination to pursue a legal career. I am eager to continue my journey towards becoming a successful solicitor, equipped with renewed confidence and a deeper understanding of the profession. I want to thank the entire Thursfields Solicitors team for making this experience so valuable and unforgettable. Your dedication and encouragement have had a significant impact on my career goals. Finally, a huge shoutout to Courtney Litwinko-Smith for putting together an incredibly enlightening week and providing unwavering support every step of the way! #legalcareer #workexperience #thursfields #aspiringsolicitors #aspirations
