[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 74271, member: 2672"] I think the attitude on accents has changed, especially as firms have become more international and the work they are doing relies on both lawyers and clients with accents. I am frank that I don’t think I would have started working in law firms if my parents hadn’t taught me to speak “posh” (my parents basically wanted me to avoid my Dad’s north London accent). But that was the best part of two decades ago. But like many things there is probably still a way to go on this. I am frank that I don’t think I would have started working in law firms if my parents hadn’t taught me to speak “posh” (my parents basically wanted me to avoid my Dad’s north London accent). But that was the best part of two decades ago. I think accent these days is linked more to social mobility and how you speak, rather than your accent. I think it comes down to your content and language (eg phrases, knowing what to say, how to say it) rather than the regional differences. [/QUOTE]
