    The first year insight scheme is for those in their first year of a three year course or second year of a four year course at university who are considering a career in law. It gives you an opportunity to meet partners, associates and trainees at the firm so come along with plenty of questions.

    Scheme dates

    • Tuesday 2 - Friday 5 April 2024

    During the week, you take part in:

    • a negotiation exercise;
    • an application skills workshop;
    • a group project;
    • lunch with associates and trainees;
    • speed networking with all our practice areas; and
    • work shadowing a trainee.

    The application skills workshop walks you through our application form. Our early legal careers team also provide you with their top tips for success. Shadowing a trainee offers invaluable experience, and you get to see first-hand the work that goes on in a practice area. You may sit in on a conference call, help with research or look through a draft agreement.

    The insight scheme is a good first step towards the vacation scheme and the training programme. You leave having had a real behind-the-scenes experience of working at a commercial law firm.
