Leading careers service
A successful legal career isn’t just down to hard work and high-quality training – although these certainly play their part. Effective, well-connected careers support is just as important.
When it comes to achieving your career ambitions, you’ll get all the help you need from The College of Law. In fact around 88% of students* who pass our LPC are in training contracts or other legal work.
Our legal careers service is the largest and best in UK legal education. It’s staffed by a dedicated team of careers experts who can help you to build a professional network through our links with a wide range of leading firms and sets of chambers.
