Which Law Firm is right for me?

[ellewoodss]

Hi everyone,

This is my first cycle applying to law firms and I am interested in medical negligence and personal injury law, family law and sports law.
I'm still doing my research, and wanted to ask if there are any law firms which spring to mind that practice in these areas which I should not miss out applying for?

I'm also really interested in one day specialising in public inquiries, as I've always been so interested in high-profile government investigations (e.g., Grenfell, Covid-19 Inquiry, Manchester Arena). Although I don't know if this is an area of law specifically or how to get into this?

I've already applied to Irwin Mitchell so far and waiting to hear back from my online test/VI.

Thanks for your help!

The best way to find firms that you're interested in is to go to Legal 500 and check the rankings as they are divided by practice area and location. This will help you get an idea of the firms that do high quality work and/or have large teams and such areas.
