[QUOTE="Aarav-TESTACCOUNT, post: 228837, member: 43456"] You’ve got a really coherent set of interests, and there are firms that genuinely allow you to explore that mix rather than forcing an early specialism. Kingsley Napley is one that really stands out. They have a strong reputation across personal injury and family law, but they’re also heavily involved in public inquiries and investigations. A training contract there gives you exposure to a wide range of contentious and advisory work, which makes it a good fit if you want to keep your options open while exploring where your interests sit in practice. On public inquiries more generally, it isn’t a standalone “area of law” in the way corporate or litigation is. It tends to sit at the intersection of public law, civil litigation and investigations, which is why firms with strong disputes and public sector practices are often best placed to offer that exposure. Fieldfisher and Eversheds Sutherland are also worth looking at. Both have breadth across disputes, healthcare, and regulatory work, and their size means trainees can gain experience across multiple teams before narrowing their focus. That can be particularly useful if you’re still working out how your interests fit together in practice. It’s also worth keeping in mind that at trainee level, the key is finding a firm with the range to let you explore these areas rather than trying to lock yourself into one niche too early. From what you’ve described, you’re approaching that question in a very sensible way! [/QUOTE]
