Hi! I am an associate at Trilegal who wears the hijab. During my time here the firm has been nothing but supportive. It was a non-issue, really. Nobody cares if you wear the hijab, or don’t wear the hijab. They respect your choices as long as your general attire (hijab included) is professional and fits with the dress code followed by your team. I understand your friend’s concerns, but ultimately do not fret over it. Your work, your demeanour, your perseverance matters more. You are just like any other associate and they are all just like you, as it should be.
