I had experience in big tech companies and smaller law firms outside the UK, and ended up getting a direct training contract with a City law firm without even doing a vacation scheme. Don't let a non-traditional path discourage you, it's all about how well you can translate the skills you learned in the application. Highlight the tasks and skills that align with the law firm's work. Personally, I really emphasised what I had learned while working at big tech and how it taught me about the corporate world as a whole. They appreciate people coming from different backgrounds, so this can actually be an advantage! Make sure you can explain why you are looking to work in a law firm as opposed to in-house now, highlight the ups and downs of working in-house, and why that experience led you to the conclusion that a law firm is more suitable for you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
