We're so glad to have you as a part of our community.You've done so well by posting here as a first step to understanding more about corporate law  👏 👏 👏Here are some things I recommend to prep yourself for a career in corporate law-<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Read more about it- TCLA has a <a href="https://thecorporatelawacademy.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=46661f8fd74854dd3e16a20f9&id=a0132087cd" target="_blank">weekly newsletter</a> that I would highly recommend signing up to, along with reading articles on websites like the Lawyer, Legal Cheek and business news more generally. Corporate lawyers are a part of a wider industry of service providers in the City, including bankers, accountants, consultants etc. and trading industry and business news will help you understand the links between these professions and what corporate lawyers actually do.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Attend events- I would highly recommend attending law firms open days, law fairs, webinars and graduate recruitment events as a way to find out more about the profession and figure out if you like what's behind the perceived 'glamour' of corporate law. Joining your university society is also a good idea if you want to get easy access to these events!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Speak to people in the profession- my best recommendation would be to reach out to your professors at uni or people within your social circle (friends, family etc.) and ask them to connect you to corporate lawyers. There really is nothing else as educational as having actual, real 1:1 conversations with practicing lawyers when you're trying to differentiate between different law firms, practice areas, law firms business models etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Know what job opportunities are out there- Some firms recruit uni students in their first year, while most schemes are geared towards those in their second year. Checking websites like Target jobs and Chambers and Partners to find out what kind of opportunities are available for you will be a good way to set a target and pursue making applications.</li> </ul>Wishing you the very best! Do stay in touch and let us know how you find exploring this career choice!</blockquote>
