Advancing as a Junior or Mid-Level Solicitor
Climbing the legal career ladder can feel daunting, especially in the early years when competition is fierce and expectations are high.
Fortunately, advancing as a solicitor isn’t just about clocking up years of experience - it’s about building visibility, credibility, and influence in ways that go beyond legal knowledge.
According to Minal Backhouse, one of the best ways to make a good impression in the first stages of your career is to
offer your help and be proactive. Taking the initiative will get you noticed, as not everyone takes this approach.
Some tips for standing out include:
- Building visibility
- Establishing credibility
- Developing influence beyond legal knowledge
