In this episode of the Speed Mooting: Partners in Crime Podcast, hosts John and Hayley dive into the real differences between barristers and solicitors - from their daily routines and client interactions to how they juggle flexibility, teamwork, and the ever-growing pile of meetings that define legal life.
They also lift the lid on what really goes on behind the scenes in law firms, how to manage competing cases without losing your sanity, and whether TV and film get the lawyer lifestyle even remotely right.
It’s a lively, insightful, and honest conversation about the modern legal profession - with plenty of laughs (and a few truths every lawyer can relate to).
💬 Join the discussion in the comments and let us know which role you’d choose — barrister or solicitor?
