[QUOTE="Deleted member 11671, post: 104869"] Hi Abdul, I'm from India but moved to UK many years ago. Happy to answer any questions you might have. The main things law firms look for in applications tend to be the following: academic excellence, a demonstration to a commitment in commercial law (this is is about why this particularly and not other types of law/investment banking/consulting), some legal work experience (this is not compulsory, but good to have), research about the firm you're applying to and some evidence of team working/leadership. The main obstacle is the visa as most firms will not want to sponsor a work visa due to the short duration of the vacation scheme. However there is a temporary work visa which the Law Society provides ([URL]https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/en/topics/firm-accreditations/tier-5-gae-scheme[/URL]) that the firm can sign up to. You will need to explain this to the HR/graduate recruiter when you apply as I'm sure they would not be aware of it. If you have any questions regarding specific law firms, do let me know. Feel free to message me :) [/QUOTE]
