Career changer needs advice

In the latest instalment in our Career Conundrums series, a former fashion entrepreneur is seeking a change in career and the best route into the legal profession.

“I’d like to change my career from fashion to law. I studied fashion design and interned at prestigious fashion houses such as Givenchy. I went on to start my own fashion brand in my home country. I recently moved to the UK, however, I have lost my joy for fashion and have been thinking about a career in law for many years but always concluded it was too late for me. I don’t have any legal qualifications, and my main area of interest is corporate law particularly in tech but I am open minded.

I would like some advice on what to do, what path to take, I’ve been out of school for several years and I’m afraid no law firm would consider my application due to my background. Thank you!”
