The process of becoming a qualified lawyer is extremely competitive. This is increasingly so in light of the current financial crises. City law firms are recruiting lesser numbers and making an increasing number of redundancies from partner level down. However the number of students opting to study law has risen. Those previously heading for a career in banking or the financial sector have chosen instead to read law in the hope of heading into a more secure job market. Competition for interviews and legal positions is fiercer each year.

Having an excellent and well presented CV, covering letter or application is therefore crucial. However just as securing interviews is of fundamental importance, so the ability to perform well in interviews is vital if one is to secure the elusive training contract, pupillage, PhD place or other position applied for.

City Law Tutors offer help and assistance with all applications, including for training contracts, pupillages and higher levels of study. This includes advice on drafting CVs and covering letters, as well as OLPAS and magic circle firm application procedures.

We also offer mock training contract and pupillage interviews held by practising solicitors and barristers.
