This webinar is aimed at first-year students who want a clearer understanding of the legal career path and how to approach early opportunities in the City. The session focuses on what law firms look for at first-year level, how to make the most of insight programmes and open days, and how to start building strong applications from the outset. Panellists from leading City law firms share practical insight into the recruitment process, common misconceptions, and the steps students can take early on to position themselves more effectively. It is designed for students who are exploring commercial law or already considering City firms, and offers realistic guidance, insider perspectives, and the opportunity to gain clarity on how to use first year strategically.
