    How do different styles of law firm win clients?

    In my experience (again, v limited), one of the main jobs of partners is to attract work and clients. I suppose it's a mixture of looking for opportunities and tendering for them, and being asked to tender based on firm reputation/ expertise in a certain area / previous work done for the client...

    Hiya I spoke with their grad recruitment manager a few months ago (pre-covid though) and she said that the ACs take place in August, so I don't think we'll hear until end of July/ early Aug :)

    Hi all :) I did a vac scheme at Travers last summer but was unsuccessful with the TC.
