#1 Ray Berg | Osborne Clarke

Welcome back to the podcast that asks the question that every state educated individual dreads.

Ray Berg has had an incredible legal career. From selling on stalls in the markets of Wembley to being the managing partner of one of the city's biggest law firms, Ray is a gleaming example of social mobility in action. In this episode Sophie speaks to Ray about how he got into Oxford in the same year that a classmate of his was imprisoned, how he rose to the top of his legal career after starting as a market stall salesman, and the common misconceptions about state and privately educated individuals that occur as a result of our education system.
