A little healthy competition never hurts. šŸ’”

It’s not about stepping on each other, it’s about chasing the same goal, learning from one another, and using that quiet motivation to keep moving forward.

Sometimes the best growth comes from seeing others push themselves, and realising you can too. šŸš€

That’s the kind of reflection you’ll find in The Weekly Edge; our free newsletter packed with wisdom, insights, and commercial awareness made for future solicitors.

ā° Wilson’s Weekly Wisdom

In law, timing can make or break your day. Deadlines, clients, hearings… you can’t afford to miss them.

But here’s the twist: good timing isn’t just about being early or hyper-organised. Life throws curveballs no spreadsheet can predict. The real skill is knowing when to push, when to pause, and when to admit you’re at capacity and still handle it with professionalism.

This week’s Wilson’s Weekly Wisdom is all about why starting small can actually set you up big. ✨
