What is the First step programme?
Maybe you’re not sure if law is right for you. Maybe you don’t know which firm to go for. If you’re a first-year undergraduate, the First step programme is where it all becomes clear.
Taking place in July, you’ll spend a week with us, sitting in one of our practice areas and learning how we work. You’ll breathe in our culture too and as you move through a packed schedule – everything from social events to workshops – you’re guaranteed to find a week to remember.
First impressions
You’re taking your first steps over our threshold – and it’s a moment to remember. Here’s what our current intake thought:
I remember waiting for my vacation scheme to start, and we waited on the ninth floor, right where clients would usually wait. The atmosphere was so striking.
Oscar, trainee
First memories: ninth floor, client reception. We went up to the balcony area, and they gave you little muffins, and smoothies in a shot glass.
Jonathan, trainee
I was so distracted en route to the building, I stepped right in the stream outside. My interviewer came to greet me, and all I could think about was that my foot was soaking wet.
Marley, trainee
