Help our team navigate commercial issues affecting the future of the law.

Welcome to Ready, Set, Law – our job simulation that offers you an introduction to the commercial issues affecting the future of the law.

This programme aims to provide you with the insight, information, tools, support and guidance that you need if you are thinking about a career in law.

You might never have considered becoming a commercial lawyer before, or you might have thought about it but not really known what it is all about. That is where this internship comes in.

Crafted by our own lawyers, this programme will introduce you to a range of topical legal issues and give you the opportunity to complete tasks that will allow you to put in to practice what you have learnt.

You will also be taken through basic trainee type tasks so you can experience first-hand what the role will entail. You will come away feeling knowledgeable about what a career in law could look like and equipped with the confidence to take the next steps should you decide this is the right path for you.

This simulation has been designed for 16 – 18 year olds but is open to all.

This program is self-paced. It takes approximately 5-6 hours to complete.
