Commercial Law 101: Trainee Stories and Live Q&A

Registrations are open for the third session in Commercial Law 101, a four-part virtual series delivered by Linklaters for students exploring careers in commercial law. This session, Trainee Stories and Live Q&A, centres on first-hand insight from current trainees who previously completed Linklaters’ Pathfinder programme. Speakers will share their routes into the firm, what their day-to-day work looks like, and how they experienced the transition from student to trainee. The discussion offers an honest perspective on training, culture, and development at a global law firm, alongside practical reflections on what helped them succeed during the recruitment process. A live Q&A allows attendees to hear directly from those who have recently navigated the same path. The session is aimed at students from all universities who want a realistic understanding of trainee life and how early insight programmes can support a future career in commercial law.
