LPC+

Our commitment to providing high quality, personalised training is exemplified by the Baker & McKenzie LPC+.

The LPC+ is an LPC course which, in partnership with the College of Law, has been specifically tailored to the needs of our firm and our trainees, with the aim of giving you the best possible start to your legal career.

The programme has been carefully designed to ensure that the content closely reflects the types of work that you will experience upon joining us. During the first term, after an induction programme welcoming you to the course, you will study alongside other LPC students at the College of Law’s Moorgate centre. You will also take part in practice group overviews and practical workshops with Baker & McKenzie lawyers, designed to increase your understanding of our practice, and develop your skills in areas such as commercial awareness and client relationships.

In the second term, you will study towards electives which are aligned with the firm’s international, corporate focus, in addition to practical sessions to help you apply the law to actual situations, using live Baker & McKenzie case studies.

Reeba's story
“I feel the LPC+ gave me the best of both worlds. During the first half of the course, we studied compulsory modules alongside those joining other firms. I enjoyed the broader social network, mixing with other would-be lawyers, making contacts and developing relationships.

We then went on to study our electives, which were very much tailored to the commercial context and practical application of the law. There were a range of workshops hosted by lawyers from the firm, providing us with an opportunity to study actual deals and case studies and to look at how the law had been applied.

We also received training on supplementary skills such as drafting, business and client awareness, negotiating and research. By the time the course was over, I couldn’t wait to begin my training contract and start putting it all into practice.”
