When can I apply?

Applications are open now!

How long should my covering letter and CV be?

We are screening applications in line with law firms and so, as a general guide, you should aim for a one page covering letter and a maximum of two pages for your CV.

How can I keep up to date with the Conference?

Sign up to our Facebook Fan Page and we will post any changes on the status updates. As there are limited places for each break-out session, if we have filled all the places for a break-out session we will post it on our Page so that you can apply to another break-out session and increase your chances of being offered a place.

How many students will be selected?

We will invite 240 students to come to the Conference. There will be 48 students per break-out session.

Who will there be at lunch?

All of the sponsoring firms will have a stand with members of Graduate Recruitment who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have on their firm, their training contract and their application process.

What are the break-out sessions?

The partners hosting the break-out sessions will divide students into small groups. They will give a presentation on the topic followed by a case study so that you can see what type of work is involved in a real transaction. The session will be interactive so once again you will have plenty of opportunities to ask your questions to leading lawyers in those fields. You do not need to have any knowledge on the topic to attend.

How much do tickets cost?

Tickets are priced at £29 including VAT. This will enable you to take advantage of a 3 course buffet lunch and tea, coffee and biscuits served during the breaks. Further, the speeches and break-out sessions will be released, where available, to the delegates.

What if I change my mind?

Once you have paid for the ticket, please note that refunds will not be possible.
