hi everyone I hope you're doing well and this is Gordon again today's video is super important it's about how to research law firms no matter your first year second year of final year law student or if you're already a law graduate and you need to know how to research law firms in order to make the best applications for vacation scheme or training contract so that you can increase your chance of passing the application stage and proceed to the interview stage and there's so many resources out there and they're not very organized it's really difficult to begin with I will prepare my computer with you guys so that I will give you a step-by-step approach to how to research law firms I hope this book is super helpful so let's jump into it so the first step is you need to know about the backgrounds of each and every firm imagine I am now a training contract applicants I have absolutely no idea of all the firms like the background information like their you know strategies whatsoever so the first website i recommend is chamber student that is super helpful in it's the best starting point for aspiring lawyers who know nothing about all firms so right now we are in like the Chamber's student website so the first thing you want to look for is true picture and to demonstrate I would just use you know my firm bacon McKenzie so when you come to this page is so important because you can literally already see a brief description about the firm's about its internationality you can also go in depth about know each particular seat or practice every strength of the law firms this is a very important passage for you to read in order to understand the firm and sometimes the passage also suggests some notable deals done by the firm's before so you may try to you know include those notable deals in your application if it you know can showcase your interest in the area or is this a very good demonstration of the firm's strategy etc and then what if you go to the page get hired you can also see the range of assessment tools or interviews the firm's use in order to select is trainees and vacation schemers so that you can understand it hold assessment process easier and in more details and also there are some application tips here as well for example a Nikola the graduate recruitment manager at Baker's actually says something like we are also interested in those who have met one of our representatives as and if and you so always include your personal experience with the firm so that means you should actually names of some persons you actually met in Korea networking event etc to showcase your understanding of the firm apart from chambers still that there's another website that you can know more about the history of the firms in details which is the lawyer in fact there is the specific website I'm gonna give you which actually helps you understand each and every law firms in greater depth so basically this is the website you need to type in so guys when I go to the lawyer this website I could literally see all the names of the firms here for someone I just literally click any firm and then they would literally have a description about the firm's history about how it was founded and also how it expanded of the world within the past few decades so it's a good starting point for you to actually know about the firm's history and backgrounds and next there's three other websites I want to recommend they may use a more funnier no tongue in order to report the firm's history and also the achievements but they're really good resources for you to understand a firm so you should check them out they're legal cheek last 100 and also rule on Friday and I think many of you guys know legal cheek already and I use Linklaters as an example it would tells you a brief description about how linklater positions itself in the legal market it also have an insider scorecard which is pretty useful for you because there has it was stunned by some of the trainees or lawyers at the firms to rank you know the quality of word training and peer support etc you can use it as a reference and those are the monetary consideration and also the hours how many training conscious they are gonna offer and one important thing if you are an international student you actually need to look at the university's current trainees because when I was an international student I need to find firms that actually recruit a large number of international ceylon for example Linklaters we could like 17% of the international students then that's a good sign that it actually will accept more international student and another important feature of Liga Chi is the firm's most least that you must look at for example you can select different criterias here you can know about which firm have the most know UK training contract most offices like Target at ours International see Commons earliest arrival time exceptions those are the consideration that may matter to some people so you can actually select the criteria sworn and check out which firms can satisfies your criteria as well next we have the last 100 and I use Travis Smith as an example for someone there are some surveys about the trainees feedback on Travis need from various perspective you can check it out yourself and more importantly there are some you know trainees worse on Travis beef like the best things about a firm worst thing about a firm why did they choose this firm over any others you can you know use this information to help with your application verdict on Travis Smith at this website in description about the to use the firm has been doing the clients they have relationship with there are loads of information here you can check them out finally this website you can see the row on friday website I use my Fallon's as an example they would just describe the firm they're even specifically management for example they don't use costly foreign offices they use referral network that is the best friends Network I've been talking about in my past videos you could actually find this kind of information here and yeah also there's a comparison between export ma and my Fallon's for example they use similar strategies as I told you the best friends network so that's why you can find some useful information in this kind of website although the term they use may be a little bit more you know an official compared to other you know website and also if you're searching for some US law firms specifically they're two additional websites you can use the first one is chambers associate and the other one is both so first is chambers associate is actually the u.s. at of chamber students you can think of it like this and I use white Hank a sadness as an example it's a US law firm so actually it's useful for you to look at those websites because I mean it's good for you to know about American market you know the firm is operating in if you want to work for US law firms actually they will also mention some strategies for example the white encased five year growth strategy which is relevant to is London office as well so we can find information like this in this website and the kind of work the New York or the u.s. office has been doing you can also find those information and he comes to another website vote and I used leighton watkins as an example you can see some votes rankings with you know it's a pretty authoritative ranking in the states as well those are information regarding you know it's american offices specifically and more importantly you can know about the news and the wars of the firms as well and the reason one in 2019 those are useful information for you and next if you want to know more about a practice area strength of a particular firm i recommend you to look into two websites the first one is legal 500 and the other one is chambers and partners so this is legal 500 it's the website for you to see the rankings of a firm i use bacon Mackenzie as an example again so usually what I would do I would do like you know control command F and then I will type tier 1 so that it will help me sort out all the tier 1 ranking of the firm you can see there are lots of them emerging market employment you law etc at this website you can actually channel order potential high ranking practice area then those are usually the practice area strains of this particular firm again a very similar approach chambers and partners they also have ranking system in UK specifically we have taken McKenzie different kind of band bands rebrand to also Pam one you can see so many different rankings for different areas as well so I think the best approach for you is to compare the rankings in this and also the legal 500 and then you can recognize those top practice areas that the firm has been working on what kinds of common sees our law firm is looking for it's also very important for your application in fact if you look carefully and research carefully you will find that some first care much more about specific competencies compared to other firms and how can you find that out the possible way is to use those websites the graduate recruitment website offers the Seaford or the graduate recruitment brochure I'm sure when you go to voice on Baker Mackenzie's website you can look at the assessment process there's some specific skews that the law firm has been looking for for someone when you look at a case of the interview they look for candidates who can demonstrate good commercial instinct problem-solving skills and the ability to discuss a business scenario confidently for example also like accuracy is also the key skill they're looking for in the trainee solicitors well in case you still don't know what to include in your application form or what kind of combat disease is more important I'll give you this website in law career dotnet it literally helps you every key skills that a recruiter wanna see in law firm applications and try to include those competencies in each and every part of your law firm applications that interrupt experience sessions or extracurricular sessions that will be helpful if you can include as many of those competencies as possible and this article in Korea that law career table that is so important it actually tells you all the competencies that a law firm is generally looking for like communication skill teamwork leadership accuracy attention to detail commercial awareness drive and determination so basically if your application function includes most of those competencies either in your experience action or your extracurricular activities for example then your application form can showcase your you know you as a more well-rounded candidate so guys those are basically the tips on how to research law firms in order to prepare for your vacations chemo training contra applications well in fact I also have
