[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 47338, member: 4043"] Hi [USER=8562]@Kelly Bracken[/USER], Whilst I think it is beneficial to have commercial experience, I do not feel that this is essential. I had very limited office experience ( 2/3 weeks max), however I had a wide range of other experiences via societies, my previous role as a tutor, my retail job and personal blog. The most important thing is that you show that you possess transferable skills from the experiences you do have. These transferable skills in conjunction with evidence of your interest in commercial law e.g. attending insight days and workshops should be more than sufficient. With this in mind, any role that is predominantly concerned with research and written tasks as opposed to more numerical focused roles would be beneficial. I hope this helps. I think [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] might be able to offer advice from a recruiter's perspective. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
