Your Route into Law: Why Firms hire Scientists

Are you a Science (Physical Sciences, Earth Sciences, Geography and related courses) student or graduate wondering why firms actively recruit people like you into legal careers?

Curious why your analytical and evidence-led approach is valued in some of the most competitive and well-paid graduate roles in the UK?

AllAboutLaw is hosting a free live online session with Lindsey, a legal graduate recruiter with 15+ years’ experience, to break it down clearly and answer your questions. The session will last c. 45 mins.  

Around half of law firm hires come from non-law degrees. In this session, Lindsey will show how employers value strengths like structured analysis, working with data and evidence, attention to accuracy, and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly, all of which are crucial in legal work.

By the end, you’ll be clearer on:
- Why your Sciences background is genuinely relevant to law firms
- The typical routes into law, and what to do next
- How to translate your skills into applications, interviews and work experience

You’ll also have the chance to ask your questions in a live Q&A. If you want a candid, practical view of how to move from Sciences into law, this session is for you.
