The Vacancy
Our Early Careers team is delighted to invite students and aspiring solicitors to apply for our Manchester Networking Evening, taking place in our Manchester office on Thursday 10 September, 16:30.
This informal evening has been designed to give attendees the opportunity to learn more about Fieldfisher, our people and the breadth of work across our Manchester practice areas. Rather than a formal skills development session, the focus will be on conversation, connection and giving you the chance to ask questions directly to people from across the firm.
Throughout the evening, you will have the opportunity to speak with representatives from a range of departments, hear more about the type of work they do and gain insight into what a career at Fieldfisher could look like for you.
Departments You Will Meet
During the evening, attendees will have the chance to speak to colleagues from the following departments:
- Intellectual Property
- Corporate
- EPIC
- Personal Injury & Medical Negligence
- Dispute Resolution
- Real Estate
What to Expect
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
