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.

I have only recently begun to look into becoming a lawyer, as I have recently left university with a business management degree, meaning a massive career path change. Getting an idea of the different types of work, including in particular in this learning section the marketing and green lending, allows me to look more into which area I would in future wish to specialise into.

I enjoyed the fact that I was able to learn about real work experience through this program, I intend to do much more. I love the fact that you create these opportunities for students like me to learn about this work experience while simultaneously opening ourselves up to a world of new experiences.

As a GCSE student, it's all too easy to base your perception of a career in law on 'Suits'. Ready, Set, Law has provided me with an invaluable opportunity to develop a realistic understanding of work in one of the world's leading law firms, all without having to leave my room. It's been really insightful and made me seriously consider law for the future. Would recommend!
