Inside Mishcon de Reya - Virtual Event

Most students hear about law firms. Very few get ninety minutes with one.

We're taking Year 12 and Year 13 students inside Mishcon de Reya — a global law firm with offices across the UK, Europe, Asia and the US, known for work that ends up in the news: disputes, private client, real estate, corporate and innovation. Their clients are international, and so are the matters you'd work on. Your base, though, would be London.

Their people will explain who they are, what they actually do, and how you get in — including the route plenty of students don't realise exists: a Solicitor Apprenticeship, qualifying as a solicitor while you work and earn, no university degree required.

The Solicitor Apprenticeship — explained by the firm that hires for it

Mishcon de Reya will walk through their programme in detail: what they look for, what the application and assessment process involves, when it opens, and the mistakes that cost strong candidates a place. If you're in Year 12 or 13 and weighing up university against earning while you qualify, this is the session to be in.
