Show Notes
In this episode we speak to Iko and Beth, trainee solicitors from Brighton & Hove City Council, about their training contract in local government. They share their experiences and thoughts on what it’s like to train in-house at a local council and how this route differs from entering into private practice.
It’s a fantastic episode about a legal career you might not have yet considered.
