Turn away training contract offers this year
If you’ve been through the last application cycle and you didn’t secure a training contract offer, first of all, I know the feeling. And I’m sorry. We’ve seen the application process become more competitive than ever, and I have met so many candidates in the last cycle who have really put their heart into this process, only to face rejection.
That’s why I want to bring you our personal service programme. Think of this as ‘personal training’ for commercial law. It’s for aspiring lawyers who want this year to be the year they secure a training contract.
We work with you on a completely 1-2-1 basis. We sit down with you every week. Depending on your goals, we:
- Review your direct training contract applications
- Build your 2026 application strategy and draft answers to the most common questions
- Practise your commercial awareness
- Conduct interview drills so you are able to convert your next interview into an offer
- Prepare for your upcoming vacation scheme, including reviewing the firm, the work and how to convert each assessment
It’s completely bespoke to your needs. Want to just focus on case study interview training? We can absolutely do that. Want to just focus on reviewing one application every week.
Who this programme is for:
1
You want to secure a training contract at your dream law firm. You are an aspiring lawyer who hasn’t been successful in the last cycle and you really want to make 2026/27 count. Or you are new to the process and want to really accelerate your learning in a short space of time.
2
You are motivated to put in the work. We’ll make sure you make more progress than you ever believed was possible — but to get the most out of this service, you need to be ready to put the time in.
3
You’re a student, graduate, career changer, UK or international applicant. It doesn’t matter if you’re law or non-law, first year or graduate, or someone with grades that you wish were higher at university. As long as you are willing — we will be with you every step of the way.
What the personal service programme will do:
- Help you to write firm-ready applications faster: Whether you’re working on direct training contract applications now or preparing for when the application window opens, you will feel significantly further ahead than you ever have, with outstanding applications ready to send off.
- Prepare for your upcoming vacation scheme: We’ll make sure you go into your vacation scheme with a clear strategy and full preparation. Plus, we’ll be on standby during your scheme so you convert it into a training contract.
- Prepare for your upcoming interview: Whether you’re preparing ahead of time, or if you’ve finally received your AC invites, we’ll run intense mock interview drills to make sure you feel confident you can handle any question.
- Get access to exactly what you need to know about the law firm process. No more feeling lost or overwhelmed or not knowing what you’re missing out on. If you’re working full-time or studying, we’ll make sure you know exactly what makes each law firm different.
- Have unique reasons for applying to commercial law firms and for wanting to become a commercial lawyer. We’ll show how to write your work experience, sell yourself in your cover letter and answer law firm commercial questions so you stand out.
- Have the support and confidence of a 1-2-1 mentor. Our coaches are insanely good. They truly care about your journey, but they have also been exactly where you are today, and they know what you need to know to excel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! Our next batch is likely to run in August or September. If you’d prefer to join then, that’s absolutely fine by us. The only reason we’d prefer you to join now is that we can get you application-ready earlier and that the waiting time for August is longer given the number of applicants.
