We all know that the best applications to law firms are well-researched ones. But there’s an overwhelming amount of information out there on each firm, so when figuring out how to research a law firm, it can be tricky to know where to start!
To help, I’ve put together a template you can use as a guide.
This template is intended to be a handy guide for you to print out and fill in with your initial research – as I know you guys (like me) like to keep little folders for your fave firms! It’s perfect for vacation scheme/training contract applications, as well as for general legal roles.
It will help you get a feel for:
- The key aspects of the firm; and
- The types of factors you should be considering in evaluating whether it’s the right firm for you.
Please do read the notes to filling out the guide for hints and tips, as well as sources of information which I think are crucial to research a law firm!
