Before you commit to becoming a lawyer, you need to answer the question: should I be a lawyer? This means understanding what lawyers do, whether the lifestyle suits you, whether your personality is a good fit for lawyer life and what sacrifices you are willing to make to become a lawyer.

In this video, Al, a lawyer at Clifford Chance, shares what lawyers do and what characteristics make a good lawyer. We discuss sleep, travel and whether the money is worth it! He reveals the aspects of his personality he thinks make him a good lawyer, and areas he’s looking to improve.

Who I am:

I'm a trainee lawyer studying in London. I graduated from Cambridge, speak French and Spanish and don’t believe in “natural talent” BUT... I do believe that TOGETHER, WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF POSITIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS.
