The Student Lawyer Podcast

This episode was first published in November 2021

In this episode, Camilla Uppal is joined by Roy Magara, Founder & Director of Magara Law.

Roy provides a fascinating insight into the life of an employment lawyer, explaining why he decided to specialise in employment law, what traits and characteristics make a great employment lawyer, and the biggest challenges around being an employment lawyer.

We discuss trends in the types of cases that employment lawyers are likely to see, and how these can be linked to current events. Roy also provides his opinion on what aspiring employment lawyers can be doing to explore the practice area further.

We also discuss why Roy set up his law firm Magara Law during the pandemic in 2020, what sets Magara Law apart from other firms, the main challenges faced by law firms, and how a law firm wins clients - these are questions commonly asked at training contract interviews, so insight from a law firm founder and director is particularly welcome!

Finally, Roy provides tips for aspiring lawyers on how to build their personal brand.
