RPC-lead

Legal Cheek Careers is teaming up with leading City law firm RPC to hold an online Q&A about how to land a training contract.

With TC application season well underway ahead of the end of July deadline, the global firm’s trainees, Charlotte Thompson and Joe Byrne, will be on hand to answer students’ questions in real-time in the Legal Cheek comments.

How did the duo secure their training contracts at RPC? Were there any difficult moments on their respective journeys from the universities of Durham and Nottingham to London’s financial district? And how would they use what they have learned to advise students applying in this year’s round?

The session takes place here between 1-2pm on Thursday 21 July and will last for an hour.

Join us then and simply fire away with your questions. If you would like to submit a question in advance, you can do so by emailing careers@legalcheek.com.
