About this opportunity
Norton Rose Fulbright’s Commercial Law Open Day for Non-Law Students will take place in London on Thursday 19 November 2026. The programme introduces participants to the legal profession, the work of a global law firm and the different routes into commercial law without a law degree. Attendees will hear from lawyers, trainees and business professionals, learn about the firm’s work across different sectors and jurisdictions, and participate in workshops, panel discussions and networking activities.
Who is it for?
The programme is designed for undergraduate students from all years of study and recent graduates from non-law disciplines who are interested in pursuing a career in commercial law. No previous legal knowledge or work experience is required.
What you will gain
You will gain first-hand insight into life at a global commercial law firm and learn how people from non-law backgrounds can enter the legal profession. You will develop your understanding of the skills and experiences needed for a successful legal career, explore how your existing interests and transferable skills can be applied within the profession, and build your network by meeting lawyers, trainees and business professionals.
