How we can support you to achieve a successful career as a commercial lawyer: Work Experience We recognise the importance of legal work experience and actively encourage students to apply as early as they can in their studies. After all, the earlier you start to prioritise your career, the more likely you will be to obtain a Training Contract with the right firm for you.
