Opportunities

Get started today with our Learning Hub

Our Learning Hub is full of valuable resources, including presentations and workshops, so you can develop all the skills you need for your career.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Our Learning Hub is our key resource for giving students and applicants the skills they need to hit the ground running.

Program details

The programmes are tailored to two levels – Launch Pad and Lift Off – each is designed for people in various stages of their studies. Launch Pad is for first-year students who want to gain a real insight into a career in commercial law. Lift Off is for penultimate year students and beyond who are looking to secure a vacation scheme or training contract with us. Both programmes will help you gain a greater understanding of client work and build your commercial awareness. At the core of it all, is the opportunity to understand more about the way we work and why we do what we do.

How will it help you prepare?

Building a career as a lawyer heavily relies on experience and expertise. The sooner you can start developing both, the better. Our Learning Hub is designed to introduce you to many of the key concepts we work with every day. You won’t just learn the theory either. There are plenty of real-world exercises, so you can begin to apply the ideas you’re learning.

You’ll grow your commercial awareness by gaining a greater insight into what we do, how we operate as a business and how we develop relationships with our clients. What’s more, you’ll explore our world as a global elite law firm and learn about how we respond to unpredictable global events that impact business.

Who is it for?

We have Learning Hub programmes available to students at every stage. From first-year students, to vacation scheme and training contract candidates, through to those holding training contract offers with the firm. The programme’s structure varies: we’ll include relevant topics for students at different stages in the application process.

For the Launch Pad and Lift Off programmes, applications usually open in September and October. You’ll be invited to take the online critical thinking test, and we’ll aim to let you know if you’ve been successful two weeks after the deadline. The programme will begin from late November.
