The new initiatives are…

ASK THE EXPERTS:
We have just launched a new Ask The Experts section of www.lex100.com. Each month we ask our panel of representatives from top UK firms on anything and everything to do with graduate recruitment, applications, interviews, training contracts, vacation schemes and much more. Have a question you'd like to see answered? Just drop us a line, or tweet us @TheLex100.

This month, our experts look into researching a law firm. How do you work out which firm is your best match? How do you get and keep in touch with the firms? and how do you decide whether you might want to apply? Check out what they had to say here.

TRAINING CONTRACT DEADLINE TABLE:
Preparation is key to securing that elusive training contract and to help we have launched a table of training contract application dates to ensure that you’re completely up to speed with deadlines. Click here to access the table.

Prior to applying for training contracts, use The Lex 100 to research law firms, study the results of our current 2013/14 survey and compare the firms which have caught your eye. Our practice area section gives information about the type of work involved, useful skills which are needed and key developments over the past 12 months from some of the UKs leading law firms.

Also don’t forget to look at our handy careers clinic section which gives a number of articles, outlining everything you need at every stage of your up-and-coming legal career.
