Welcome to The Legal 500 Future Lawyers guide 2024/25.
This year we’re celebrating our 20th edition! That means we’ve been surveying lawyers and researching the legal market for over 20 years now, so if you’ve got questions, chances are we’ve got the answers!
We surveyed over 2,000 trainees and pupils at firms and chambers across the UK to find out all about their training contracts and pupillages. From client contact to work/life balance and job satisfaction to international secondments  to legal tech, we bring you trainees and pupils’ honest thoughts on every aspect of their training.
As ever, we’re here to help you navigate the training contract and pupillage application process, from the initial research and choosing a firm or chambers, to making sure you put your best foot forward at an assessment day or interview.
We know that each candidate has different priorities when it comes to choosing a law firm or chambers; that’s why we’ve arranged The Legal 500 Future Lawyers survey scores into accessible Winners’ Tables. Whether your main concern is supervisor approachability or salary, we can point you in the direction of a suitable firm for you. There are also interactive comparison tables which let you do just that – compare firms according to what’s important to you.
If you have any comments, queries or questions, please do get in touch with me on [email protected]. We’re always looking for ways to improve The Legal 500 Future Lawyers experience and we love to hear from our audience. We are also on Instagram and Linkedin so please give us a follow!
Wewish you the very best of luck with your training contract applications and pupillage applications and for the year ahead.
