Today we have the pleasure of speaking to Helal Ahmed, a Barrister at Spire Barristers in Leeds. Helal was previously a solicitor before retraining and has a fascinating background. Enjoy.

Breaking Legal Glass Ceilings is a series of conversations with leading lawyers from backgrounds outside the law.

David Lock KC explores how successful lawyers from "non traditional" backgrounds made it into the professions, what they did to get on, what legal practice demanded from them, what they did to stand out from their peers, and their top tips for the aspiring lawyers of tomorrow.

We would also like to invite you to join the conversation, and you can email us with your comments and questions at legalglassceilings@gmail.com, and you can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

We look forward to sharing these conversations with you, and very much hope you enjoy them.
