Want a training contract at a top law firm?

Описание: Step one: get a vacation scheme. Here’s exactly how to make it happen even if your CV is empty.

Don’t spray and pray. Pick firms that match your interests such as corporate, criminal, IP or any other area of law. Learn their key deals and values. Show them you’ve done your homework.

Answer every question like it’s an interview. Avoid clichés like ‘I’m passionate about law’, prove it with evidence: moots, volunteering, work experience, or even running a student society.

Most firms use psychometric or situational judgement tests. Practice them online before the real thing so you’re not caught off guard.

You’ll face group exercises, written tasks, and interviews. Show you can work with others, speak clearly, and think commercially, not just legally.

Attend law fairs, connect with trainees on LinkedIn, and ask smart questions. A genuine connection can make your application stand out.

Top firms reject 90% of applicants. Don’t take it personally, refine your application and try again. Persistence is key.
