Web Legal Winter Seminars
London
8th January 2012 - 12th January 2012

Web Legal Education is pleased to announce a Web Legal Winter Seminar in Edinburgh.

English is the spoken language during the seminars. There is no other language requirement. The accommodation is single room hotel accommodation.

All students (18+) who have studied at least one year at university are invited to apply.

Study

Studying at different institutions in different countries broadens your horizons, increases your knowledge and confidence in law but generally develops your mental abilities in a holistic fashion. Law firms need graduates and trainees who are bright, but they also need employees who have depth to their intellectual abilities. Studying in a different country allows you to see the jurisprudence of the world in a different light.

Nearly all of the large law firms have energy departments - they have expertise in climate change, oil and gas, power, regulated utilities, renewables and water. The types of issues that can occur in energy law are:

• Anti- Trust
• Construction and Engineering
• Dispute Resolution
• Employment
• Energy and Trading
• Environmental Safety and Planning
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Project Finance
• Property
• Public Procurement and State Aid
• Shipping
• Tax

Think - if you are applying for training contracts at the large firms and they have openings in their energy department, how are you going to prove that you have an interest in energy law? This seminar will give you the ability to prove your interest and thus ultimately assist you in obtaining employment once you have finished your law degree.

We have also added a day of seminars related to "commercial awareness" of energy law - commercial awareness is a mainstay of training contract interviews and you need to ensure you are prepared for it!

Experience

Law firms require trainees and associates who have the experience to cross boundaries, not only physically but cultural and psychologically. The law firms of the future will have offices or relationships with every country and will have clients who deal with many different countries simultaneously. You need to travel to build up your cultural experience and your ability to impress clients from different countries who have different ways than yourself. You cannot do this in one static location and whilst knowledge of one country is okay, two countries fine, three countries or more is best!

Enjoy

Our Web Legal Winter Seminar in Edinburgh has so much to offer. You will have one of the best weeks of your life in this beautiful and exciting city with new friends and colleagues who will be useful contacts in your future career. There will be some 40 other law students on the seminars from various universities around the UK - excellent friends and contacts to make.
