Oh hey!
I’m Sophie – an award-nominated part-time content creator and full-time solicitor based in London, providing guidance and support to aspiring solicitors through Law With Sophie.
I’m a mentor with Grow, have had several pieces of writing published, and regularly feature both in the legal press and as a panellist at industry events.

My background & why I started Law With Sophie
I was a non-law, non-Russell Group applicant, graduating in 2014 (and from the GDL in 2015).
I spent a few years after this working in the industry while applying for training contracts.
In 2016, I pivoted to applying for vacation schemes. I secured two assessment centres for vacation schemes, was successful at both, and secured my training contract in early 2017 off the back of one of these vacation schemes (yay!).
Having spent the last few years studying the LPC and training, in 2021 I qualified as an Associate (eek!) at a leading corporate law firm.
After experiencing a degree of difficulty in getting to this point, largely due to a lack of industry connections and information, I don’t want others to struggle in the same way. Through my platform on @lawwithsophie and this blog, I hope to help others by passing on what I’ve learnt in these last seven or so years!
If you’re an aspiring solicitor, I really hope you find these insights useful, and I’d love to hear from you!

Let’s have a natter
I regularly work with brands in the legal space to promote their services through this blog and @lawwithsophie, and to offer content creation and writing consultancy services. I also dabble in workwear content creation for fashion brands.

A bit more about me
- I’m originally from Manchester and most people describe me as very down to earth. Although I take my career *very* seriously, I don’t take myself seriously at all!
- I’m known for a no-nonsense approach to my content, always with a touch of humour.
- I’m a serious foodie and also love wine, nice fizz, and gin.
- I’m OBSESSED with skincare and make-up – classic Mancunian girl!
- Travel is one of my big passions, and I’ve very nearly completed the “30 before 30”.
- Show me a dog and you’ll have the key to my heart!
