Joanna Hughes, a champion for accessible legal education, shares her journey from a distinguished 25-year career in law to pioneering solicitor apprenticeships that eliminate the burden of student loans.

Together with Patrick McCann, Joanna is reshaping the landscape of legal education and opening doors for aspiring lawyers from all walks of life. From leveraging TikTok and Instagram to engaging with parents and educators, she tells us how to shift perceptions away from traditional university routes. Joanna’s advisory role with UCAS and the Multicultural Apprenticeship and Skills Alliance, sees her championing social mobility through cross-sector collaboration. We also get an insight into the practicalities for law firms integrating apprenticeship schemes, offering guidance and fostering community to ensure a smooth transition.
