Deciding whether or not to move upon qualification and which area of law to specialise in are decisions which will affect the whole of the rest of your career if you get them wrong.

At G2 Legal, we encourage Trainee Solicitors to contact a Consultant even in the early days of their Training Contract to establish a working relationship with one Consultant who can learn what makes them tick. The advantage of this is easy to recognise. In the months preceding qualification rather than feel bewildered and apprehensive, the soon to be qualified Solicitor will be armed with up to date knowledge of the market and have received advice as to the strong and soft areas of law into which to qualify.

As a Newly Qualified Solicitor looking for a move one thing that will set you apart from the many other candidates for a position is the service of a Recruitment Consultant who knows you and can 'sell' you into a firm, giving you a much higher chance of securing an interview than the act of merely sending in a CV.
