Message: <blockquote data-quote="N.9" data-source="post: 86830" data-attributes="member: 9427">Hi everyone, hope you're all well. After many years of trying to attain a training contract, I finally attained (and started) one at a small to mid-size commercial city law firm, which - while I'm please - doesn't do the area of law that is my passion (Competition Law). Could anyone please provide some insight as to how possible (if at all) it would be for me to move into Competition law post qualification in private practice? I know this is largely to do with experience gained whilst in practice (which is why I'm concerned), but it's not like I don't have experience in Competition law. I worked at the European Commission in DG COMPETITION for a year whilst undertaking a fiercely competitive traineeship, and I understand that some trainees are only able to do 6 months in competition at some law firms, but are still able to qualify into competition law. I'm also considering doing the postgrad diploma at Kings College in Competition Law to show my dedication - but I don't know if this will be enough - or even necessary?For those who know more about this sort of thing, I would absolutely love your input. Please feel free to PM me if you prefer <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ps. I know that i might find other areas of law that I like and will want to qualify into, but I'd like to understand more about the above at this moment in time.</blockquote>
