How to research a law firm for your application

[@yemisworld777]

Thank you so much for this video! So helpful and has definitely helped me kickstart my research, can't wait for more videos! Could you make a video on how to answer "how does firm x differ from its competitors?" and how to research this properly? Thank you

For South African law students, our African firms may not be listed here, so head over to Legal 500 and Chambers

Thanks for adding that info, Kim-Lu!

Thank you so much for this Idin! You’ve really opened the door for me to start my applications process, subscribed and can’t wait for more videos! 👍🏾

[@IdinSabahipour]

Thanks so much Amanda! If you have any suggestions for video topics, just send me a message on Instagram.

[@shreyasharma9903]

This is exactly what I needed, thank you! When do you think is the ideal time to start researching?

[@IdinSabahipour]

You're welcome, Shreya! 🙏 I'm glad it was useful. Honestly, I'd say to start the research as early as possible. I always suggest trying to get your application in as early as possible after the applications open.

Hey Idin, what are some good questions to ask law firm employees while networking? Good, substantial questions whose answers will actually bolster your application when you eventually apply to the firm.

[@IdinSabahipour]

Great question, @onyi__ - I'll make a video on this

[@onyi__]

@@IdinSabahipour thanks so much! Cause I need tips asap😭

[@sanjusunil1369]

1• How to get into a law firm? 2• What are the essential skills to be needed for a law student to develop in law school to get into tire 1 law firms?

[@IdinSabahipour]

Thanks Sanju! How to get into a law firm depends on the application process of the firm. So, that's what I'm trying to focus my recent videos on to help with! Are there specific things you'd want more info about?

[@bukolao632]

I am currently doing some research on a magic circle law firm and this video is very insightful. Thanks Idin.

[@IdinSabahipour]

I'm so glad it's helpful, Bukky!

[@tobyf6414]

Hiya, thanks for this video it has been really useful. I just wanted to ask regarding what you said about how reading recent firm news can help you understand their place in the legal market (at 7:16). This is useful although how do I use that information to make a judgement about the firm's position in the legal market? Would I be able to draw conclusions such as: "because a firm has recently appointed one of their lawyers to partner level in their dispute resolution team, it is clear that the firm believes dispute resolution to be one of their growing sectors and possible future strengths"? Can I go further than this? Should I take anything else into account, such as downsizing, or perhaps the location of a newly-opened office and if this affects their future strategy depending on that office's location? Thanks for all the help :)

[@salonishah8585]

Can you do a video on a law firms client focus.

[@IdinSabahipour]

Hey Aniekan! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm always looking for new topics for videos. Are you asking about how law firms serve their clients specifically or how they get clients? Let me know and I'll add it to my list of topics!
