There are too many law firms and too little time. Of course there is a lot on offer: international, big national, regional, small law firms. You should be considering the pros and cons of each directory and then researching firms in that particular directory. Things to consider are: working hours, responsibility you are given at different stages, firm reputation, promotion opportunities, location, contact hours with clients, who are those clients, etc.
Personally, I have been researching various law firms, mainly international, because I speak several languages and would like to intergrate this particular skill at my work place. I am still in the middle of researching, but I have selected a few companies already and I intend to send my applications there in order to get some vac schemes sorted for this summer. It is very advisable to send those applications in as soon as possible because sometimes if not often, it is done on first come, first served basis. And in order not to cut your chances unreasonably, get those applications sorted early!!
How are your researches going?
