First Year Insight Scheme

The first year insight scheme is for those in their first year of a three year course or second year of a four year course at university who are considering a career in law. It gives you an opportunity to meet partners, associates and trainees at the firm so come along with plenty of
questions.

Scheme dates

Tuesday 2 – Friday 5 April

During the week, you take part in:

a negotiation exercise;
an application skills workshop;
a group project;
lunch with associates and trainees;
speed networking with all our practice areas; and
work shadowing a trainee.

The application skills workshop walks you through our application form. Our early legal careers team also provide you with their top tips for success. Shadowing a trainee offers invaluable experience, and you get to see first-hand the work that goes on in a practice area. You may sit
in on a conference call, help with research or look through a draft agreement.

The insight scheme is a good first step towards the vacation scheme and the training programme. You leave having had a real behind-the-scenes experience of working at a commercial law firm.
