Launch Pad, our First Year Insight Scheme
We run two insight schemes over the spring and summer, and each is packed with legal case studies, interactive workshops, presentations, and networking opportunities.
You'll come away with a clear picture of our culture and values, as well as a good understanding of the day-to-day work of a trainee.
It’s an ideal opportunity to ask us any questions, soak up application advice for a vacation scheme, get to grips with the assessment day process, and start growing your personal network. You’ll grow your understanding of exactly what we do and the clients we work with and learn practical tips on how to gain commercial awareness. Whether you’re a law or non-law student, these insight schemes will show you how we are defined by difference.
