If you could ask a trainee solicitor to go back to their first year of university and do it all again, what would they change? This session gives you the chance to hear directly from trainees who have recently navigated the journey you’re now beginning.

They’ll share what they wish they had known about applications, work experience, networking and commercial awareness, alongside the things they worried about that ultimately mattered far less than they thought. Expect practical advice, personal experiences and an honest look at how to make the most of first year without feeling like you need to have your entire legal career mapped out already.
