‘I’m a career changer in my 30s. Will City law firms give me a chance?’

Advice needed


In the latest instalment of our Career Conundrums series a 30-something aspiring solicitor is seeking a career change from marketing to City law.

“I work in a marketing role in the finance sector, and whilst I once enjoyed my work I’ve recently turned 30 and looking to make the move into law — a move I’ve been considering for a couple of years now. I studied law at Oxford and fell into the world of marketing post-university. Would firms take me seriously? Are there some firms/types of firms that are more or less open to older applicants or those with previous careers? Please keep me anon. Thanks.”
