LEGAL eagles from a Midlands law firm visited a Halesowen school to help pupils understand what is needed for a career in law.

Thursfields solicitors Lauren Hartigan-Pritchard and Stefania Fulford visited Windsor High School and Sixth Form as part of the Reaching Your Dreams inspirational speakers scheme.

Thursfields’ solicitor Lauren Hartigan-Pritchard is responsible for education sector clients including schools, academies and further education institutions in Worcestershire and the West Midlands offering advice and guidance on a wide range of educational issues.

Training manager at Windsor High School, Alison Halford, was delighted with the impact the talks had on pupils.

She said “Students found it really useful to hear the stories of people who were successful in a career that interests them.

"To find out how they had got into those roles and other potential routes into the law makes the students’ aspirations seem more manageable."

She added: "I felt that for some of the students in the audience the talk delivered by Lauren and Stefania will have been a potential life-changing moment where their dreams came one step closer.”

Thursfields employs over 100 people across offices in Halesowen, Worcester, Kidderminster and Stourport.
