Conference
Our conference in April 2021 will offer you the chance to discover what the legal profession has to offer. This year’s conference will take place digitally, and will allow you to attend talks and participate in workshops. You will meet students and law professionals from across the country while receiving careers support. You can look forward to:
Work Experience Placement
Explore careers in commercial law on a three to five-day work placement (which may take place virtually or in person). Develop crucial skills employers look for and receive guidance from practising professionals. Our partner firms include:
Mentoring
You will be assigned a legal professional who works at a partner firm to mentor you as you launch your career. They will share their experience as a practising lawyer. You can ask them questions about vacation schemes, training contracts and how to build your professional network and more!
