From first steps to qualified solicitor: Real stories from our people
Join us for an open and honest conversation about the varied routes into a legal career at Gateley. We’ll kick off with a brief introduction from Early Careers, giving context to how we support and develop future talent. Then, hear directly from our people at different stages of their journey—a solicitor apprentice, a graduate solicitor apprentice (GSA), a trainee solicitor and a newly qualified (NQ) solicitor—each sharing their personal story, challenges, and proud moments.
