Sacha Jones is one of our incredible students with a success story to share. Now an employment law solicitor at Thrings LLP, Sacha watched Legally Blonde at the age of 11 and dreamed of becoming a lawyer ever since. Fast-forward a decade and a law and sociology degree later, she prepared for the SQE with BARBRI doing the SQE1 and SQE2 Focused Prep courses. She found studying with us a no-brainer, saying, "I initially chose BARBRI because of the course being fully remote, which meant that I could more easily study around my work.”
