Black Excellence in Law is primarily an employability networking event, but you won’t find firms at stands handing out leaflets and reeling off the usual spiel. Instead you’ll be invited to have real conversations with representatives from top organisations, whether they are on the recruitment team, graduate schemes or board of directors and take part in unique interactive session all aimed to give you the confidence to build your professional network and succeed in the graduate recruitment process.

Is this a fast track to graduate schemes and internships?

Yes and no. Remember this event is primarily an employability networking event, you will get first hand advice from recruiters on what roles they offer, the application process, and gain useful hints and tips of information that is not online in this unique experience. It will then be your responsibility however to follow up on the contacts you speak to and put all the advice you have learnt to complete the applications.

Is there a charge for this event?

No, this event is completely free to attend!

Is there a dress code this event?

The dress code for our events is professional yet relaxed. The most important thing though is that you feel comfortable and confident, so please wear whatever allows you to get the most out of the day.

Will there be a prayer room accessible throughout the event?

Yes, a prayer room will be available at any point of the event. If you require access to a prayer room, feel free to approach any member of our team who will be happy to guide you.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

You will need to bring your travel receipts with you in order to claim back your expenses and some form of ID with you (Bank Card, Drivers Licences, Passport etc.). Its also a good idea to bring something you can take notes on either electronically or written.

How and when will my travel expenses be reimbursed?

We'll cover your travel costs up to £50. If your trip costs more, just let the team know before you book, and we may be able to increase the contribution. To claim reimbursement, keep all of your receipts and simply fill out an online form after the event. We'll then send the money directly to your bank account. Please note, we recommend booking your tickets in advance, using public transport. Please note that taxi/Uber fares will not be reimbursed unless previously agreed upon.
