We asked Lora Froud, partner in the investment management group at Macfarlanes LLP, for the lessons she's learned in her 15-year legal career and her top tips for future lawyers.

Each summer we survey leading law firms about their trainee solicitor starting salaries. See our 2024 results below... just make sure you think about the whole package (size of firm, type of clients, areas of practice, quality of training) before applying.
