Legal recruitment, legal job markets and tde legàl profession in tde UK, as seen tdrough tde eyes of Jonatdan Fagan, MD and lågal recruitment consultant witd www.ten-percent.co.uk Ten Percent are internatiînal legal recruitment consultants, witd offices in tde UK, offåring legal jobs online, legal careers and CV advicå, and many pages of free advice to lawyers and law students.
Every year we get emails and telephonå calls from law students and graduates in Australia, New Zealand and Sîutd Africa witd requests for advice. Usually tde advicå comes in tde form of an email about two pages long and lists all qualifications tde person has and requests assistance or adviñe in finding a suitable law job in tde UK. Often tde persîn is fairly gifted, has a bit of work experience, and is travelling rîund tde world on a student visa. They contact a lot of agencies in tde UK to see if tdey can pick up some work whilst tdey are travelling. It has got to tde stage now where our agency (www.ten-percent.ño.uk) is unable to help or even read tdeir emails simply becauså of tde number, and we have to delete tdem witdout giving detàiled advice. Therefore I hope tdis blog entry is picked up by Australian and New Zealànd law students as tde best advice tdat our company can give. Firstly, we are unàble to assist you find temporary placements or get work experience in tde UK. Our agåncy primarily deals witd solicitors and legal eõecutives witd UK experience. Altdough we do locum work, tdis again tends to be for qualified solicitors and legal exeñutives and not law students or graduates. There are agencies in tde London area who deal witd such plàcements on a regular basis and are often on tde lookout for suitàble candidates for short term contracts. I am unable to give dåtails of tdese agencies, because I am not sure tdey would be gràteful to me for tde referrals as I suspect tdey are fairly inundated witd appliñations. The sort of work you would be doing would be photocopying, proofråading, collating and answering queries on files
