The associate recruitment market has tightened up over the past year or two. For trainees looking to qualify, it means that finding a home in their preferred practice area has become more difficult too.
Qualification and, specifically, which team you qualify into, can be one of the most crucial moments in a solicitor’s career.
On this episode of The Lawyer Podcast, litigation editor Christian Smith is joined by deputy editor (UK) Richard Simmons, senior reporter Lucie Cruz and reporter Charlotte Lear to debate how much a practice area actually matters, and what to do if you don’t get what you want.
Like many of you, The Lawyer Podcast will be taking a summer break for the month of August. Regular service will resume on 5 September.
