Welcome to the Law Fair
It is great to see you at this year’s Law Fair. With more than
70 firms attending, you can find out about a wide range of
legal practice areas and sector opportunities with local,
regional, national and international firms. Many of the firms
attending will have work placements, open days, insight
events and training contracts available.
EXCEPTIONAL
EXCEPTIONAL
LAWYERS.

LAWYERS.
EXCEPTION.
Here are some ways in which you can make the most of the fair.
As well as law firms attending, representatives from course
providers will have information about the Graduate Diploma
in Law (GDL), the LPC and the BPTC. They can also tell you
about the destinations of students who undertake their courses
and the employment they have secured on completion, for
example paralegal, trainee solicitor and pupil barrister. This
will be particularly helpful to those of you who do not secure a
pupillage or training contract prior to commencing the courses.
If you are thinking about a career in law, then some background
research on the firms and what they do will help you get much
more out of the day. A little research goes a long way and will
make it easier for you to decide whether or not the firm is right
for you.
In addition to the information provided by law firms and
legal education providers, you will also be able to collect
your personal copies of legal directories at the fair such
as Chambers Student Guide and the Training Contract &
Pupillage Handbook.
When talking to representatives, be confident, smile, shake
hands and make eye contact. Be yourself and don’t waffle, have
some purposeful questions to ask. If you can’t think of any right
now, these questions will help you get the conversation going:
And after the fair, what next? Remember, we the Careers and
Employability Service do much more than organise events like
this; we are also here to help you with your ideas, plans and
applications, even if you are not sure what you want to do next.
If you would like to talk to us, then book an appointment at

• What do you look for in trainees? What skills? What
attributes?
• What has happened to trainees who qualified with you in
the last few years and what do they do now?
• How many trainees do you take each year and how does
this impact on the trainee’s learning and professional
development?
We hope you enjoy the fair and look forward to seeing you
again soon.
Nalayini Thambar
Director of Careers and Employability
• How are trainees allocated seats and supported during
their training?
• What is the work-life balance like? What is the social life

Anthony Collins Solicitors is a great choice if
you’re looking to join a principled firm and want to
take the lead on high quality work.
We are committed to helping you develop and
succeed as a trainee, and we provide the support
and resources to help you achieve your potential.
You’ll be allocated an appraiser at the start of your
training contract, as well as a trainee manager for
each seat. Your appraiser will offer support and
guidance about which areas would complement
your plans for the future, making sure you gain the
necessary experience and skills.
When we asked our trainees why they chose
ACS over other firms, they told us it was because
of our excellent client care and because we have
a social conscience and are actually prepared
to do something about it. They also said they
were given more hands-on experience and
considerably more responsibility than their peers
at other firms.
• A good work/life balance.
• The approachability of senior colleagues,
including partners.
www.anthonycollins.com
We asked what they considered to be the
firm’s best features, and these are some of their
responses:
• the chance to do high-level commercial work
in one seat and publicly-funded private client
work in another.
