Securing a training contract can feel like a long process, so what can you learn from those who have successfully navigated it? In this session, current Bristows trainees will share their individual journeys to the firm, from researching firms and building relevant experience to tackling applications, interviews and assessments. They’ll discuss what worked for them, the challenges and setbacks they encountered, and the skills they developed along the way, giving you practical advice to take into your own training contract applications.
Key themes
While Bristows may not be the largest firm in the city, they more than make up for it with their passion for legal work and strong work-life balance. The firm has no hierarchy in the office and has been ranked one of the best firms for work-life balance, but this doesn’t mean they don’t work hard. The firm has advised Samsung, L’Oreal and the BBC to name but a few. They even advised Mondelez (owners of Cadbury) in a dispute about the shape of a Kit-Kat bar!
There is no one size fits all at the firm in regards to its employees. Lawyers at the firm have backgrounds in criminology, immunology and even zoology. Outside their legal work, the firm is passionate about Corporate Responsibility. Bristows work with the Social Mobility Foundation to provide a one week placement for A-level students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Employees even help to recycle work clothes for those who are unemployed and have an interview.
