Law Fair 2016

On Wednesday 2 November 2016, the Career Development Service held the annual Law Fair for all students interested in a career in law. The event was well-attended by students  across the University, where they were able to network with over 30 exhibitors including top law firms from around the UK, such as

• Allen & Overy
• Baker & McKenzie
• Clifford Chance
• Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

Students were able to discover the opportunities available within the legal sector after graduation and find out more from top employers about the training contracts, vacation schemes and insight days on offer. Leading education providers were also showcasing the options for further study at postgraduate level or through law conversion courses to further develop skills and knowledge for a successful career in law. Talks throughout the day gave students advice from experts in the legal field on how they can develop skills to enhance their career prospects, as well as how to write a applications that will help them to stand out from the crowd.

Our own University of Leicester Law Society and Pro Bono Society were also at the event to talk to students about the broad range of activities and projects they can get involved in while at University.
