We sat down with Aimee Booth from our Derbyshire office to ask
about her days, how she started her career, and what advice she can
impart for individuals looking to start in law.
Q1. Why did you become a Solicitor?
I have wanted to be a solicitor all my life, there was not a
moment after the age of 12, that I wanted to do anything else. My
particular interest in family law also started at this time
although the reason why continues to allude me as I was not
inspired by any media or individual to my knowledge.
This drive to become a family solicitor, led me to complete my
LLB at the University of Lincoln in 2013 then undertake my LPC
part-time at Nottingham Law School from 2011-2016. During my second
year at Nottingham, I started with Family Law Group as part of the
CLA team and from there moved up to becoming a paralegal then
receiving my training contract in October 2018, finally qualifying
as a solicitor in October 2020.
