Keen to make good first impression


In our latest Career Conundrum, a soon-to-be trainee solicitor asks about the key dos and don’ts for getting their training contract off to a strong start.

“Hello LC. I saw you recent Conundrum on starting pupillage and I wanted to ask for some similar advice about starting my training contract at a Silver Circle law firm next month. Do any of your readers have any advice/tips to make sure I make a good impression in my first team/seat? Also any major don’ts? Thx.”
