Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar last week in conjunction with JLD BB&O (Junior Lawyers Division for Berks, Bucks and Oxon). The webinar focused on helping Trainee Lawyers and NQ Lawyers think through their career choices and the areas of law that may be right for them. Associate Director Faith Kelly and Senior Consultant Ashleigh Curtis shared practical advice for trainee solicitors and Newly Qualified Lawyers on choosing the right area of law, understanding the NQ recruitment process and thinking about long-term career options. A few key takeaways from the session included: 💠 Start conversations early, even if you hope to stay with your training firm 💠Think about the work itself, not just the team or supervisor you enjoyed working with 💠Consider whether you prefer contentious or non-contentious work 💠Factor in client contact, salary, flexibility and long-term career goals 💠If your first choice is not available, get advice before making a decision Your first NQ role is an important step, but it does not have to define the rest of your career. We recorded the session, so if you were unable to attend or would like to receive a copy of this, please get in touch with us on the details below. ☎️ 0161 834 1642 📩 [email protected] #NQLawyer #TraineeSolicitor #LegalCareers #LegalRecruitment #JuniorLawyersDivision
