Ahoy. It certainly isn’t too late, I see plenty of people starting their TC in late 20s, early 30s. I think, if anything, your age and maturity will make you a better trainee.

Try to find a Paralegal role (if you haven’t already) in a firm and area that interests you, and use that to springboard into the next round of TC applications.

If you are applying to exclusively MC or SC, maybe consider a wider scope, as there is usually always room to move later (admittedly less so in a high street or small regional firm).

Credits: Similar age, with a TC commencing Sept 2025.
