Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well.
I am currently applying for vacation schemes in Summer 2022, and am finding myself a bit conflicted with regards to what firms to apply to. I know that I want to go into litigation in the future, as I took some experience in this department in a Law firm in Namibia and I loved it. Nevertheless, I am torn for what firms to apply for as I have not had corporate law at university (so I am not sure if I will enjoy it or not), and what I have enjoyed at university, even though this might be different in practice rangers very widely from criminal law and administrative law to European law, contract law and torts. I know I do not want to work within finance (but again this might differ in practice).
I have been looking at firms like Mishcon de Reya and Kingsley Napely as they offer their services to private clients AND corporations (which I really liked about my internship), however I am also intending to apply to corporate firms. Is there any advice you could give me? and are there any firms you know of whose practices range very widely so that it would be possible to also for instance do non contractual liability litigation alongside corporate litigation etc?
My current approach is to apply some litigation only firms, but also to some corporate firms as well as due to the many departments I would get a wide range of experience in my training contract. However, I am still torn as currently I seem to have too many firms on my list to apply to and am struggling to cut them down.
Thank you and Kind regards
