Year 12 try out life as international lawyers

Students studying A-Level Law visit the offices of top international law firm, Clifford Chance.

On Wednesday 27th April 31 A Level Law students ventured into London to Canary Wharf to the offices of international law firm, Clifford Chance. The morning spent at these impressive offices included a talk by the head of Graduate Recruitment and a discussion of the skills and characteristics that employers are looking for. This included resilience, enthusiasm and the importance of building networks and being your authentic self.

The students then participated in a careers carousel where they had the chance to interview trainee solicitors from Clifford Chance about their current roles and how they got there. This was a chance to ask questions about a legal career and appreciate the many different options for study prior to becoming a lawyer, including not only a law degree but degrees in subjects as diverse as ancient history and physics. The students then enjoyed a light lunch in the Clifford Chance offices overlooking the Thames.
