Why Are Law Firms So Eager to Hire Politics & International Relations Students?
What to Expect
Are you a Politics or International Relations student wondering why law firms are so keen to hire you? Are you curious about why they’re increasingly seeking people with your skills for some of the highest-paid graduate opportunities in the UK?
AllAboutLaw will be hosting an exclusive event with Lindsey, a legal graduate recruiter with more than 15 years experience to explore these intriguing questions and more.
Did you know that 52% of lawyers come from non-law backgrounds? Our expert will show how law firms highly value your analytical skills, understanding of complex systems, and ability to interpret global trends. These strengths can give you a significant edge in the competitive legal field.
Join us to find out how you can leverage your Politics or International Relations degree to embark on a rewarding career in law. You'll also get a chance to ask your burning questions in the live Q&A. Don’t miss this chance to get a real, candid insight into securing a career in law.
