If you are considering a career in law do not be put off by the work load as there is many benefits to come once qualified. Some top tips to consider have been listed below:
1) Be realistic
When there’s so much competition, firms look at both your academic background and which university you went to. If you don’t think you can beat the competition, apply to firms further down the pecking order.
2) Work hard
Make sure you do get the grades you need. If you are doing you’re a-levels you have plenty of time to get your act together.
3) Get some work experience
It’s never too early to start getting work experience. Sure, most big firms won’t offer placements to anyone not at university. But, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t go to a local firm and shadow someone or sit in the public gallery at your local law courts.
4) Specialism’s
Think carefully about the type of law that would suit you. A common mistake students make is they have a misguided view of what lawyers do.
5) Firm size
Lastly, think very carefully about the type of firm you want to work in. High Street firms are smaller and may have only three partners. In contrast, the bigger firms will have around 200 partners and 130 trainees. Both have different benefits so it’s important to work out what’s best for you.
