Trainee Spotlight: Trisha Ray

I came across Accutrainee at a law fair during my GDL year. I had previously moved to the UK from overseas and done a non-law degree for my undergraduate year. I was intrigued by their unique training model and impressed by the professionalism of the team at the law fair. I eventually applied for their training contract and after their rigorous recruitment process I was added to their database of successful candidates.

A few months later I received a call from Andrea – their HR manager about a placement opportunity at one of their new clients—a specialist law firm focusing on all areas of Pensions law. As I didn’t grow up here, I had no preconceptions or stereotypes associated with the word ‘pensions.’ I was told before the interview that no previous knowledge or experience was required and to treat my interview as I would for any commercial law firm.
