A record-breaking number of employers from across Scotland’s legal sector will attend the University of Aberdeen Law Fair next week.
The event is the third of its kind and takes place on Tuesday, October 11, in Elphinstone Hall, from 1.00pm – 3.30pm.
Employers representing a diverse range of employment opportunities from across the legal spectrum will be represented at the fair, which is targeted specifically at 3rd and final year law students although all students from the Law School are invited to attend.
In total, there will be 35 law firms and related organisations attending who will be recruiting for trainees in 2006, 2007 and vacation placements. Those attending include all the major Scottish firms, the Faculty of Advocates, the Scottish Law Commission and Talisman Energy (UK) Ltd.
Tracey Innes, Careers Adviser with the University of Aberdeen’s Careers and Appointments Service, said: “We are delighted to have a record number of employers attending this year’s Law Fair.
“We would encourage students to grasp this opportunity to meet with a huge range of legal sector employers, allowing them to talk directly with company representatives and recent trainees of the organisations.
“For those students who have specific plans for legal training, the Law Fair is an ideal opportunity to impress employers with their knowledge and expertise. There will also be an opportunity to discuss the many work experience opportunities available, particularly useful for those students in their third year.
