Law Careers Fair 2025 - sponsored by Michelmores LLP
Wednesday 19 November 2025
12:30 - 15:30
Great Hall, Streatham Campus
The Law Careers Fair, sponsored by Michelmores LLP, is this year taking place in the Great Hall. We will be welcoming a range of companies who will be available to talk through training contracts, vacation schemes and postgraduate study opportunities. It provides a unique opportunity to meet and speak informally with recruiters about the opportunities available and how you can pursue a career in the legal sector.
All University of Exeter students are welcome regardless of your year of study, subject or campus. Our fair is also open to our graduates.
If you are a recruiter wishing to exhibit at the Law Careers Fair, please visit our employer page.
Prepare for the Fair
We are currently updating our online resources to help you make the most of our careers fairs. We will also be running specific sessions to help you prepare for the fair. All the latest information will be available here shortly.
How to attend the Fair
To attend the fair between 13:00 - 15:30, there is no need to book. You can just turn up on the day!
Quiet Half Hour: 12:30 - 13:00 will be run as a quiet session to enable students and staff with additional needs to more easily access the fair experience. To attend the quiet half hour, you will need to book a space (bookings for this will open shortly). During this period, sound is kept to a minimum and we request that those who do not need additional support avoid attending during this time to minimise crowding.
We always recommend checking in advance to see who is attending the event. The full list of exhibitors attending will be available to view on Handshake closer to the date of the fair.
Penryn students
If you are based on the Penryn campus and would like to attend the fair, you can reserve a space on one of our coaches, bringing Penryn students to Exeter's Streatham campus for the day. Booking will be available through Handshake, and information will be published here shortly.
Using Handshake before and during the Fair
You will be able to look through the list of exhibitors in advance through the Handshake listing for this careers fair. You will also be able to access the floorplan on Handshake during the fair, to see where everyone is situated.
If you have never used Handshake before you will need to log in. To log in and complete your profile please visit https://exeter.joinhandshake.co.uk
If you haven't activated your account yet, when prompted select the 'single sign on' option and follow the on screen instructions.
This is NOT a virtual fair - you will not need to book specific sessions to see specific employers, you don't even have to register to come if you don't want to (unless you want to attend the quiet session).
Alternative Study Space
Due to the fair, The Terrace and the Sanctuary will not be available for quiet study on the 18 and 19 November. You can view alternative study space on the free space checker.
Photography
Please note that photographs and videos will be taken at this event for marketing and training purposes. We intend to use these images, where appropriate, in our promotional material to tell others about the benefits of the University. This may take the form of entries on the University's website, in emails and printed and digital media, to highlight to other students, prospective students, employers, staff and other stakeholders of the activities organised by the Employer Engagement and Student Employment Team.
