Sorry for the disappearing act- from now on I will be doing a weekly article instead of every day as my second year at uni gets more intense. More info coming soon

What is the salary of a lawyer in the UK?

Lawyers are notoriously high earners, with some earning well over £100,000 per year! But what can you be expecting to earn as a trainee solicitor in the UK?

Magic circle law firms

While applying for vacation schemes and training contracts you will hear or see the phrase "magic circle law firm" mentioned a lot. A magic circle law firm is simply one that is considered to be a leading law firm or commercial barristers' chambers in the United Kingdom.

These firms are usually regarded as prestigious and as 'magic circle' law firms:

~ Allen & Overy

~ Clifford Chance

~ Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

~ Linklaters

~ Slaughter and May

What jobs can you do with a law degree?

You may think that with a law degree you are destined to become a solicitor or even a barrister but this isn't necessarily true. Many of those who have a law degree go on to join the police force, army or even teach. 

A degree usually means that you are of a certain academic standard, and no matter what subject your degree is in, with the right training and experience you can go into almost any career.

Law qualifications

Law is a huge subject, so it is no wonder that there are many achievable qualifications within it.
