About the Insight Day

Applications are open

The Insight Day will take place 12th March 2025 1pm-5pm.

Thinking about commercial law but unsure if it’s the path for you? Join CMS for an afternoon to find out what life is like in commercial legal practise.

Starting university has many challenges, one of which is what sort of career you will end up with when you graduate. Have you considered commercial legal practise? It may be on your radar, it may not be, but the CMS Insight Day will help you to figure out if this is the path for you.

Focussed solely on 1st year students, our programme is an overview of full-service commercial law, learning about our practise areas and sector focus, the calibre of our clients and the relationships we build, our culture and most importantly, hearing from our current trainees on why they chose CMS, and what it’s like to train here.

You’ll learn all about our programmes and eligibility, and potentially build relationships that will be the foundations of your future career.
