Back to EpisodesQualification: the end of your career?
Description
The associate recruitment market has tightened up over the past year or two. For trainees looking to qualify, that means finding a home in their preferred practice area is more difficult too.
But qualification and, specifically, which team you qualify into, can be one of the most crucial moments in a solicitor’s career.
So on the final episode of The Lawyer Podcast before the summer and with editor Catrin Griffiths away, litigation editor Christian Smith is joined by deputy editor (UK) Richard Simmons, senior reporter Lucie Cruz and reporter Charlotte Lear to debate how much a practice area actually matters, and what to do if you don’t get what you want.
Like many of you, The Lawyer Podcast will be taking a summer break for the month of August. Regular service will resume on 5th September.
