Join the Junior Lawyer Accelerator

When I was a trainee solicitor at Baker McKenzie’s London office, I was looking for different career opportunities. I started working closely with international recruiters during the third seat of my training contract. I learned how to write an impressive CV and secured interviews at elite law firms like Kirkland & Ellis (London), Clifford Chance (Singapore), Jones Day and Stephenson Harwood (Dubai), etc.

In addition to private practice, I also worked at one of Japan's largest securities firm as a legal counsel. I explored in-house opportunities and secured interviews or offers at various financial institutions in Europe and Asia. Over the past years, I have also coached numerous trainee solicitors and junior lawyers to change their career trajectory and find the right firm that fits their goals and life priorities.

This 4-week Junior Lawyer Accelerator programme targets trainee solicitors, newly qualified or junior lawyers looking to join a better law firm or international organisation.
