About us
Meet the authors
We’re Miranda Lopez and Hollie Gould, a barrister and a solicitor who met on the long road into the profession and never stopped comparing notes. Between us we’ve sat the exams, survived the pupillage and training contract scramble, and learned the unwritten rules nobody hands you at the start.
Wigs, Gowns and Ambition is the honest, pocket-sized guide we wish we’d had: a firsthand account of what to really expect on the journey into law. The good, the bad and all that falls in between.
