Hey everyone,
It's an exciting day for us today because it's our two-week anniversary since we launched the website. (I know two weeks isn't something people normally celebrate but it feels like our first milestone!).
We also had an idea.
Rather than having sneaky updates that no-one knows about, we thought it would be a good idea to keep you guys updated on exactly what we're doing at the moment. So we'll be posting our updates on this page once or twice a week. Oh, and if there's anything you like or don't like anything please feel free to comment here or in our suggestions thread.
Thank-yous
I have a couple of thank-yous to give out first. A few of you have messaged me recently because you've received training contract offers. I won't tag you as I'm not sure if you want it to be public news but you know who you are. It's always a pleasure to hear when you do, so thank you - it makes my day to hear news like that! Please stick around too! In the near future, we'll be building resources for future trainees.
On that note, thank you to all our future trainees @Amy Hillier and current trainees @Nicole Shroff @Rayhaan V for taking the time to give out advice and answer questions. I know you all have busy schedules, which is why it has been so pleasing to see your thoughtful and detailed answers.
Now, onto the page:
What we're working on:

Now, onto the page:
What we're working on:
- Updating the law firm insights page. These are still being worked on so apologies for the clunky wording. Next on the list is Shearman & Sterling - thanks to @Denisa Olaru for the suggestion.
- Application reviews and mock interviews: I have been impressed with the applications I've seen over the last week, there are some very diverse candidates here!
- Getting funding/expanding! We're currently talking to an organisation that shares a similar mission (hence why I'm up at this time working on a business summary
).
- We have a few more lawyers who will be joining us soon to answer questions. One of them is an associate from Cooley. He works in the emerging companies practice group and directly advises founders and investors of start-ups and tech companies, from formation to exit (@Jonty - this seems right up your street!).
- A new guide to law firms where we break down how they function as a business, how they make money and how lawyers manage risk (thanks @GD1995 for the suggestion!).
- I'll keep that a surprise for now but lots of exciting stuff!
Best,
J
