Mission Statement: Relax. You’re in Good Hands.

How did you end up in this role?

I heard about Clarity Simplicity during my time at the University of Glasgow. After applying for the position of Legal Assistant, I was invited to a recruitment evening which then progressed to an interview. After learning more about the firm at the recruitment evening, I realised that Clarity Simplicity was the perfect fit for me. The team are down to earth and genuinely care about their clients and offering the best possible service. I was delighted when I was offered the role of Legal Assistant alongside the Diploma in January 2022. After working with the firm for 5 months, I was offered the position of Trainee Solicitor.

What do you love most about your job?

No two days are the same. The variety of legal services that the firm offers means you are constantly learning and developing new skills. I also enjoy managing my own clients and building working relationships with them. This makes it all the more satisfying when you resolve their legal issue.

The team that I work alongside are extremely supportive and the firm culture is second to none.

How do you do what you do?

Obtaining the relevant qualifications is only half the battle. Good time management and organisation skills are crucial to ensuring an excellent service whilst maintaining a good work/life balance.
