🏆 What does it take to be named Solicitor of the Year… just 3 years after qualifying?

It’s not luck.
It’s not just talent.
It’s empathy, consistency, and showing up online and offline.

This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, sponsored by Clio, I sat down with Becca Horley, specialist medical negligence solicitor at Shoosmiths - Serious Injury, LinkedIn legal voice, and winner of the Birmingham Law Society’s Solicitor of the Year 2025 award.

Here’s why this episode is a must-listen:

🔴 Advocating with empathy – Why listening (really listening) changes everything in client care.
🔴 Tech for good – How assistive technology is transforming lives after life-changing injury.
🔴 Building trust – Turning vulnerability into confidence, and clients into lifelong advocates.
🔴 LinkedIn as a career superpower – How Becca uses personal branding to win cases and opportunities before stepping into the room.
🔴 Consistency as credibility – The power of keeping promises you make to yourself.

🎤 “If you can showcase that you are reliable through content on LinkedIn, you can make a name for yourself before someone’s even met you.”

🎤 “Whatever happens in life or your job, keep the promises you make to yourself, it boosts your self-esteem and commands respect.”

From securing justice for patients harmed by rogue surgeons, to visiting clients in their homes to understand their daily challenges, Becca’s story is a masterclass in how modern lawyers can combine technical excellence with human connection.

So… how are you building trust in your network before you walk into the room?
