“AllSaints is a company that encourages progression.”

• What does a good day look like in your role?

  Busy days are inevitable! I spend most days juggling various different matters. A good day is meeting with various people across the business or external partners whilst also being able to work individually and review contracts.
   

• What does a challenging day look like in your role?

  A challenging day is usually when I have to deal with tight, unexpected deadlines. I always feel relieved after getting through this type of work. 
   

• What do you get up to in a typical day/week?

  I start my week by studying - I’m currently studying the SQE so that I can achieve my qualification to be able to practise and act as a solicitor. At work I will review contracts as well as meet with different teams to advise them on matters or discuss any ongoing projects

• What's the best thing about working for AllSaints?

  Everybody is really friendly and approachable which makes it a great environment to work in. 
   

• What's the most surprising or unexpected thing about working for us?

  Despite how busy it is, it is quite a relaxing environment to be in.
   

• Why AllSaints?

  AllSaints is a company that encourages progression. It is somewhere that you are able to grow and build your career. You can start off working in one of the stores and progress to other roles within the business.
   

• What's not in the job description but something you'd tell a friend if they were looking to join the brand?

  Working for the brand is all about people - so regardless of your role, it always relates back to this.
   

• Tell us about your journey with AllSaints so far.

  I started working for AllSaints at our flagship store on Regent Street whilst at university and worked there for around four years. I have always been interested in and passionate about fashion. AllSaints gave me the opportunity to pursue a role which combines my legal ambitions and my fashion interests. After graduating, I wanted to continue with law, particularly in fashion and it seemed like a natural route for me to move into legal. Now I am in the process of completing the SQE and my training contract to qualify and become a Solicitor.
