Information for employers

It is the Law Faculty’s policy that our involvement in facilitating contact with our students, either within the Law Faculty or through distribution of materials for internships, trainee posts, external events, receptions etc., comes as one of the many ways in which we thank our benefactors. 

We appreciate the interest in exploring avenues with Oxford University law students to learn more about their career possibilities. We know the importance of attracting trainees with strong academic qualifications, particularly those who have had to prove themselves in an environment such as Oxford Law where the tutorial system puts students in a position of developing and defending their thoughts and opinions with their tutors.

In general, all such requests are handled by the University’s Careers Service. The Careers Service deals with recruitment initiatives run by many law firms and other potential employers of law graduates. For more information, please visit the dedicated pages on their site. For further information, the Employer Relations Team can be contacted by phone on 01865 274663 or by email at recruiters@careers.ox.ac.uk
