Join the 8-week BigLaw Academy

A smiling man stands on a city sidewalk wearing sunglasses, a light gray coat, a gray turtleneck, light gray pants, and brown shoes, with city buildings and traffic in the background.

I went from being a first-year law student from Hong Kong with poor grades and no connections in the legal industry, to being a Cambridge-educated, dual US/UK qualified lawyer working at one of biggest international law firms in the City of London.

With my methodological and structured approach to landing BigLaw offers in London, I will help you nail each single part of the job hunting process, ranging from building a diverse CV from Day 1 and devising a tailored application strategy, to preparing a number of high-quality applications and nailing the assessment and interview stages.

The 8-week program is the most comprehensive and targets those who are currently in law school. The 4-week fast track program targets graduates, paralegals and foreign lawyers wanting to get up to speed with the job hunting process.

Don’t ignore the magical power of asking for help, you never know what will come out of it. This could be your first step to success!
