Our Story

Align was created for future barristers at all stages of their pursuit to gain a practical understanding of what it takes to become a barrister. We offer a tailored road-map to becoming a barrister and build a uniquely structured Pupillage Achievement Ladder for each user based on their individual needs.

Persons with limited connections at the bar find it more challenging to build strong legal portfolios than their socially and financially advantaged colleagues who likely have knowledge of someone in the profession. Therefore we replace the advantage with digital tools to provide the user with a frame of reference.

Align bridges the gap for persons from under-represented groups by providing access to information and equipping them with a practical immersion in the process, because everyone should have the opportunity to make an informed decision about their career choice, not only persons who have connections.

Our Story

Alignthebar was started because law students in England with no connections in the profession find themselves in the unique position of struggling to progress, and therefore find themselves going in circles, unnecessarily. We wanted to create a space for students to access information, strategy and advice on how to become a lawyer. We focus heavily and provide help to achieve high grades, build work experience and strong legal CVs/Portfolios, and build professional confidence.

Alignthebar was established in 2020 by our CEO Neive Augustin, was born out of Neive’s personal journey into the legal profession. Hailing from the Caribbean, Saint Lucia to be exact, Neive embarked on a transformative path, venturing to the UK to pursue her studies.

Her unwavering dedication and exceptional academic achievements earned her success not only in her LLB studies but also in securing a prestigious Gray’s Inn Bar Course scholarship for the Bar Professional Training Course. As an incoming pupil with a clear career plan, Neive intimately understands the challenges that law students encounter throughout their academic and professional endeavours.

Neive’s own experience has fuelled her profound passion for empowering students from underrepresented backgrounds, who often face barriers and limited access to the legal profession.
