With BARBRI

Register to attend

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 19 March for Legal Cheek’s latest virtual student event, in partnership with BARBRI, focused on helping aspiring solicitors identify legal employers that genuinely match their values, interests and long-term goals, and make smart choices on the path to qualification.

Led by BARBRI careers and employability manager Steph Day, the session will offer practical advice on understanding the legal market and deciding where to apply. Whether you are weighing up practice areas, comparing firm cultures or getting ready for interviews, the session will cover how to research employers properly and approach applications with a clear plan, keeping your ultimate aim of qualifying as a solicitor firmly in sight.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• How to use online resources to build a clear picture of firms
• The key factors to consider when assessing culture, work, training and progression
• Understanding differences between firm types, practice areas and client bases
• How to use your research to strengthen your CV, applications and interview answers

Following the session, there will be an opportunity to meet the speakers and chat virtually with current SQE students.
