In these webinars, we're sharing our best advice to securing a training contract, from teaching you how to develop interview technique to walking you through how law firms operate as businesses.
The first series focuses on writing applications that stand out. Having reviewed over 2,000 applications, we examine the common mistakes candidates make, provide guidance on how to communicate your motivations, and discuss how to best present your experiences on paper. We're working exceptionally hard to make sure each session is as good as it can be. This includes examining real application questions for the top City law firms, dissecting 'good' and 'bad' application answers, and providing you with a guidebook to teach you how to apply the lessons you learn to your own applications.
In the second series, we teach you to master case study exercises and the hardest commercial questions at law firm case studies. You'll come away with a deep understanding of financial statements and metrics, and understand the specific steps you need to take to excel in case study interviews.
In the third series, we examine the training contract, consider what trainee lawyers actually do, and better understand how trainee solicitors can prepare themselves from the pressures of a legal career.
In the fourth and final section, we host a series of webinars with law firm Shearman & Sterling LLP on topics ranging from virtual interviews to overcoming rejection.
