Just like almost every other profession, she faces some challenges. “Law is a rewarding and fulfilling career but it is also challenging. I faced intense competition for trainee solicitor roles, long hours are the norm, competitive environment, high billing quotas…” But she said she has been able to surpass the challenges with God as she is a strong believer, and with the help of her wonderful supportive network of family and friends. “I believe anyone can study law, so long has you have the drive, passion, hard work, zeal and determination.”
Lara Ayodeji-Akindiji also takes part in various TV programs! Lara Ayodeji-Akindiji is back at it again. It was an honour to be asked to come on TV and talk about Immigration which is such a hot and emotive subject. As I was walking out of my house to make my way to the studio where the interview was to take place I tripped and sprained my ankle. My phone and my mac press powder went flying and landed smack in the middle of the road.
Like any 21st century woman would do I risk life and limb and crawled into the middle of the road to rescue my precious phone and make up before a car ran over them (Ladies I couldn’t save the press powder) but my phone was only had scratch and was fully functioning.
After all that whala, I usually would be like “it’s not that serious” and wobble my pretty behind back into the house. However; a small still voice said to me, “ call an Uber”. I am so glad I did, I got to go on TV and speak on a subject that matters to so many people. Moral of the story, if Plan A does not work, you still have 25 more letters and 364 more days in a year.

Despite her achievements abroad, she hasn’t completely forgotten about home. “I do have desire to return back to Nigeria and practice law there and will be undergoing Christmas and Easter work placements at Lagos firms which will provide me with an in-depth insight of the working dynamics within a Nigerian law firm, Nigerian law and offer a taste of life as a Nigerian lawyer. From there I believe I can make a more educated decision as to whether I should continue my legal aspirations in the UK or in Nigeria.” In addition to that, she coordinates and organises volunteers at the free legal advice centre at Barnet Sure Start, a government funded initiative in West Hendon & Underhill.
