"Excellent"

Excellent - with comprehensive coverage of pathways to law, detailed advice on how to impress in applications and at interviews, and guidance on commercial awareness and legal terminology. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone aspiring to a career in law.

"Very clear and fulsome guide - helped me to secure a TC"

A detailed and very helpful guide to what was for me a difficult process. I am happy to say that, thanks to this guide, I was able to secure a training contract. It really helped me to choose what area of law I wanted to go into, how to successfully write my applications and how to deal with interviews. Would recommend this 100%

"Considered advice from someone who has gone through it all before"

Every law student should have this to hand and keep referring back to it. A very professional and personal approach to help you achieve your ideal career path. I really liked the honesty and guidance this guide provided me with. What was most helpful, is the reassurance that the author had considered how one might feel in their shoes in a current climate. It is relatable guidance, which is also completely up to date. I found this to be different form other reading material on the market which focuses more on describing the generic steps in the path to obtaining a training contract. This guide will help and encourage you to reach top tier firms with guidance that will differentiate your application from others. A most useful read, which will help you feel reassured and confidant.

"Great book!"

As a student, I've read lots of these types of books but this is definitely the best! Really thorough and it helps to have anecdotes from real life practice as it's so hard as a student to get behind the 'real life' of a law firm and learn about what life is really like.
