They say hindsight is 20/20 – London’s senior lawyers offer their very best advice to Legal Week readerstinkler-simon

‘I wish I had known that big law firms are really just small groups of people working together that join up with lots of other small groups and so aren’t actually impersonal and machine-like – and that law firms really do have very different cultures, so you’ll find one that suits you. My best advice would be to find a part of the law that you enjoy, and be yourself when doing it – you won’t go far wrong’ – Simon Tinkler, London corporate head, Clifford Chancegary-senior-bakers
