Our connections with the legal profession for law students

It’s a fact. The better connected your law school, the better prospects you have for launching your career.

Locally and globally we’re better connected, so you will be too

We work with 94 of the top 100 UK firms, and four out of five of the top global firms. Our network becomes your network when you’re at The College of Law.

We can open doors

One of your first steps to becoming a solicitor or barrister will be to secure a training contract or pupillage. It’s not an easy task because the competition is tough. But knowing someone with the right connections gives you a far greater chance of success. That’s where we come in.

We can get you better connected

When you have trained more lawyers than any other law school, your network will naturally be larger and run deeper. For example, our Alumni Association has over 12,000 registered members. That’s why through The College of Law you’ll be better connected. Locally and globally.

We’re favoured by the top firms

We are the chosen partner of many of the top names in law, from global leaders to respected high street names.
