Recent Feedback

The support I received was invaluable. My application felt so much stronger, and I wouldn’t have secured the scholarship without it.

I thought my CV was fine—until I worked with LawGrad Launch. They helped me restructure it completely, making every section clearer and more tailored to the legal sector. The difference was huge. Within weeks, I started getting interviews from firms that hadn’t responded before. It gave me a real boost in confidence.

The feedback I received on my scholarship application was incredibly detailed and practical. It helped me reshape my personal statement into something much more focused and impactful. I walked into the interview feeling prepared and confident—and I’m thrilled to say I was awarded the scholarship.

Our daughter was struggling to get shortlisted, even though she was bright and hardworking. LawGrad Launch stepped in with application support that was both strategic and encouraging. They helped her understand how to showcase her strengths and align with what firms are actually looking for. The improvement in her success rate was immediate—and the stress levels in our house went down too!

After several rejections, I started to doubt myself. The confidence coaching I received at LawGrad Launch was a turning point. They helped me see my strengths, own my achievements, and go into applications and interviews with a renewed mindset. It wasn’t just about skills—it was about believing I deserved a place in the profession.

Graduates who’ve worked with LawGrad Launch come into interviews better prepared, more focused, and more professional. You can tell they’ve been coached to understand the legal recruitment process. It shows in how they structure their answers and present themselves. We’ve hired several candidates who credit LawGrad Launch for their readiness.

Unsure where to look for opportunitiesNavigating the legal job market isn’t always straightforward, especially without a clear plan or support.
Not knowing what law firms or chambers wantWithout insider insight, it’s tough to tailor your application to meet specific expectations.
Starting to question if law is the right careerConstant rejection or confusion can cause even the most committed graduates to doubt their path.

Getting rejected with no feedbackSilent rejections make it hard to learn, improve, or understand what went wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? You’re not alone. Law graduates often face uncertainty around applications, interviews, and career direction—and we’re here to help. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about how LawGrad Launch works, who it’s for, and how we can support you on your journey into the legal profession.

This includes CV writing, application support, scholarship coaching, interview preparation, and confidence coaching. Our approach is holistic and practical—aimed at helping law graduates understand what legal employers are looking for and how to present their skills and experience accordingly.

How is your support different?

Unlike generic careers services or large coaching platforms, LawGrad Launch offers highly personalised guidance tailored to the legal profession. Our support is delivered by an experienced solicitor with a proven track record of helping graduates secure training contracts, pupillages, and other legal roles. We don’t rely on templates or one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we work with you to identify your unique strengths, address gaps, and shape a narrative that reflects your potential. You’ll receive honest feedback, practical tools, and focused support that evolves as you do—so you’re always moving forward with purpose and clarity.

Can I get help with interviews?

Yes—interview preparation is one of our most in-demand services. Whether you’re facing a traditional training contract interview, a panel for pupillage, or a competency-based conversation for a paralegal role, we offer targeted coaching to help you prepare. Sessions include realistic mock interviews, detailed feedback, and practical strategies to help you answer questions clearly and confidently. We also focus on body language, tone, and mindset—especially if you’re feeling nervous or unsure. With the right support and practice, you’ll walk into interviews with greater confidence, professionalism, and self-awareness.

Do you help with confidence and mindset?

Absolutely. Many law graduates struggle with imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, or doubt about whether they belong in the profession. We offer dedicated confidence coaching to help you build resilience, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and recognise your own value. Our coaching is supportive, practical, and completely confidential. Whether you’re recovering from rejection, stuck in comparison, or just unsure about your next step, we can help you regain clarity and belief in yourself. Building confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about feeling prepared, grounded, and capable. That’s what we help you achieve.

How are sessions delivered?

All our coaching sessions are delivered flexibly to suit your needs and location. Most clients choose to work with us online via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or FaceTime, which allows for nationwide support without travel. We also offer coaching via phone or, where possible, in-person meetings. You can book individual sessions or a series, depending on your goals and availability. Whether you’re a student managing coursework or a graduate working part-time, we’ll schedule your sessions in a way that works for you and helps you stay on track.

What if I’m not sure what I need?

That’s completely okay—and very common. Many clients start without a clear plan, and that’s where we can help. We offer an initial, informal conversation to understand your situation, explore your goals, and identify the type of support that would be most helpful. There’s no pressure or commitment—just a chance to talk things through and get a clearer picture of your options. Whether you end up booking one session or working with us more regularly, the goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence and direction.
