Our Flying Start Programme is a 2-day experience for those in the early stages of their career. The programme consists of practical skills sessions, interactive group tasks, insightful talks and presentations, networking events, and Q&A discussions. It’s an opportunity for you to explore your interest in the legal industry. You’ll develop lawyer-specific skills and commercial awareness, network with our lawyers, and add valuable experience to your resume.
Our Flying Start Programme will take place on Tuesday 11 July to Wednesday 12 July 2023.
Applications to our Flying Start Programme open on Monday 2 January 2023 and close on Friday 28 April 2023 at midnight.
The application process includes an online application form. Once you have applied, you’ll receive a confirmation of your received application form. Then, you’ll be notified if your application has been successful or unsuccessful.
We operate rolling recruitment, which means we screen applications as they’re received, rather than after our deadline. We encourage you to apply as early as possible.
This workshop is for those who can’t yet apply to our Vacation Schemes or Direct Training Contract. You’re eligible if you are a first-year law undergraduate, or first- or penultimate-year non-law undergraduate student. Please only apply if you can attend both Tuesday 11 July and Wednesday 12 July 2023.
