Entering the UK legal sector is highly competitive.

We provide tailored support for vacation scheme and training contract applications. We help you present your qualifications, experience and skills in a focused application through in-depth feedback.

Once your application is successful, we prepare you for your interview and assessment centre through highly personalised coaching sessions. Our sessions are tailored to you and the firm you are applying to. 

Expert one-to-one practice interview with a UK qualified lawyer and detailed performance feedback.

This scheme is a unique opportunity for you to gain knowledge and insight from specialists into your selected profession. This is also an opportunity to grow your professional network.

We provide tailored training for aptitude tests required by law firms during the application process including psychometric and verbal reasoning tests (such as the Watson Glaser test).
