This
is Next City Lawyer, a dedicated
platform designed to support aspiring legal professionals on their
journey to securing training contracts in commercial law. Founded in
2019, Next City Lawyer is the brainchild of two seasoned legal
professionals: Tom, a Senior Associate at a leading US law firm, and
Will, an Assistant General Counsel for a major organisation. They
have chosen
to remain anonymous to offer you an unfiltered, honest perspective on
the legal profession, sharing insights that might otherwise be
withheld if their identities were known.
The path to securing a
training contract can be daunting, especially in the initial stages.
The reality is that over 90% of candidates face rejection without any
feedback to guide future applications. Many aspiring lawyers find it
difficult to clarify their goals or understand the high standards
required by their target law firms. This is where Next City Lawyer
comes in, offering you real examples of successful applications with
expert commentary, so you can see what success looks like and use
these insights to elevate your own applications.
Each
application in the Next City Lawyer database is reviewed in detail by
experienced lawyers involved in hiring. The feedback provided
explains why an application was successful and outlines the
strategies you can adopt. By studying these examples, you can learn
effective techniques that boost your chances of moving closer to
interviews—and ultimately, to training contracts. The goal of Next
City Lawyer is to help you join that coveted 10% of successful
applicants.
Beyond application samples, the website offers a
wealth of resources, including informative articles, practical
guides, and case studies grounded in real-world scenarios. These
materials are tailored to build your knowledge and sharpen your
skills, providing you with the tools to approach your career with
confidence.
In short, Next City Lawyer provides you
with the resources, expert feedback, and strategic guidance essential
for success in your legal career.
