Law careers: frequently asked questions.
When should I start preparing for law firm recruiting?
Earlier than most students expect. Large-firm recruiting for 2L summer associate positions has moved earlier in recent years, and many firms now interview in the months after 1L or even during the spring of 1L. Start on your résumé and firm research during your first year.
Can you help international LLM graduates find work in New York?
Yes. We help LLM students understand the US legal job market, decide where their background is most valuable, adapt their CV into a US résumé, prepare for interviews with international firms, and plan around visa and bar admission timelines.
Do you help with judicial clerkship applications?
Yes. We help you plan your timeline, choose a writing sample, write cover letters and prepare for clerkship interviews with federal and state judges.
Do you only work with law students?
No. We also work with junior associates planning a lateral move or a move in-house, and with graduates of other disciplines considering law. Our consultants have experience in law, investment banking, accountancy and consulting.
