Stand out from your peers with both specialist knowledge and commercial awareness to win that prized training contract or pupillage.
You’re on track to secure yourself a strong degree. Nice work. But to break into the legal profession, you need to do more. You need to demonstrate you understand what a lawyer actually does day-to-day, how law works as a business, and how the businesses that lawyers serve work.
How can you show you have a strong grasp of the practice area you’re looking to specialise in? If you’re asked at interview, could you easily cite the latest legal developments in an area or the cases your target employer has been involved in recently? Don’t worry. We can help.
Once into legal practice you’ll need to do more than just research points of law (though there will be plenty of that). You’ll also need the ability to give practical, client-centred advice that interprets what the law means for your client. At interview, you’ll need to show you get this.
Discover tools and resources that help you develop your legal knowledge, research target law firms and nurture your commercial awareness.
