Is there room for Newly Qualified Solicitors?



So I haven't posted in a while (apologies!) but I have this week off work so I have no excuse now. A week or so ago I was invited to attend a talk held by Clara Rose Consultancy. Clara Rose provides legal recruitment services to those that are qualified in the legal industry. Clara's talk was focused on areas of the legal industry that are currently growing and those which are either stable or shrinking in terms of  demand. It was interesting to see the direction in which the legal industry is turning and what possible positions would be available for when we qualify.

The event was held by the Suffolk and North Essex Junior Lawyers Division, whereby many trainee solicitors in the area attended. Clara Rose works with the East Anglia area and also specialises in finding Trainees who are about to qualify the perfect NQ position.

Clara gave tips for writing a good qualified Solicitor's CV. As many of us are still used to writing a CV from a student's perspective, the tips really helped for when we come to write our own. Also included in the talk were interview tips and advice on finding the right area for you to qualify into when the time comes to make that big decision.

It was great to catch up with the SNEJLD trainees, more importantly, there was pizza!So I left a very happy lady. If anyone would like to seek advice or find a job in the legal industry, you can contact Clara at clara@clararoseconsultancy.co.uk.

  1. There are many things to look for in a law or solicitors firm as well phd dissertation writing services, but this attribute is the most important. Make sure that the firm fully understands the nature of your business and has good experience of working in your sector.
