What skills do you really need to succeed in a law firm, and how can you demonstrate them when applying for opportunities?
Join Foot Anstey for an interactive session exploring the transferable skills that make a successful commercial lawyer, from communication and teamwork to problem-solving, commercial awareness and building strong relationships.
You'll hear perspectives from supervisors and insights drawn from client feedback to understand what law firms and their clients value most. We'll explore how these skills are used in practice, why they're important throughout a lawyer's career and how you can start developing them through your own experiences.
The session will also cover how to demonstrate these transferable skills throughout the recruitment process, with practical advice on making your applications stand out. You'll also have the chance to learn more about Foot Anstey's early careers opportunities and ask questions about starting your legal career.
