Choosing which firms to apply to for a training contract is
not a simple process and
should involve extensive research. There are a
number of major firms which operate
across large swathes of the United
Kingdom (and beyond) and across a number of offices.
Their practices
usually encompass a wide variety of work and attract a wide variety of
clients
, meaning that they are extremely attractive to recruits who seek a
range of experience
in their careers. But choosing between them is easier
said than done and requires
careful consideration.
If you are considering becoming a lawyer – and especially if
you are a law student
about to start your second year or a non-law student
commencing your final year –
you need to up your game over the coming
months if you are going to fulfil your potential.
Some of the questions you
might want to ask yourself are:
- Have you got what it takes
to be a top lawyer?
- Do you want unrivalled,
in-depth access to top firms?
- Do you want to observe what
lawyers really do?
- Do you want to hear the
stories of successful lawyers?
- Do you want to know what
recruiters really think?
- Do you want to make your CV
look better to firms?
- Do you need a way to stand
out?
- Are you ready to grab an
opportunity to succeed?
If the answer to most of the above is ‘YES!’, then the NationalLawLIVE
event in December
is for you.
NationalLawLIVE is a full-day, full-immersion exercise in
ensuring that you are the type of
candidate who has the knowledge,
connections and technique to win a training contract at a
top firm. You
will meet and interact with lawyers and recruiters, hear their stories and
advice,
and gain a unique insight into how the business of law really runs.
Selection for the event is a competitive process, just like
getting a training contract. Receiving an
invitation to attend one of our
events shows that you are on the right track.
Here’s what some of the delegates from last year’s event had
to say:
"An amazing, helpful day! I would definitely recommend
this event to others. The law firm
representatives were extremely helpful
in answering questions and providing advice."

"Not only was the event extremely useful for meeting
firm representatives and learning
important skills, I have finally realised
which path in law is right for me. I don’t think I’ve been
more excited and
positive about my career in law!"
