Elham put me in touch with many people who worked at top law firms. This ultimately led to me getting an internship offer at a Magic Circle law firm, which I received a training contract offer from this summer.

Investment and Application

  • You’ll sit in rooms with industry leaders who rarely speak outside their boardrooms.
  • You’ll pitch directly to decision-makers and mentors who’ve shaped global companies.
  • You’ll walk away with real experience, real relationships, and real opportunities that don’t get posted on job boards.

Full Programme Cost

ÂŁ9,500

This programme isn’t just designed to teach you what to do, it opens the doors no one tells you how to find. 

If you tried to create this experience yourself, from paying for personal coaching, booking elite speakers, networking your way into London firms, and landing your own internship, you’d easily spend over £25,000 and take years doing it.

At ÂŁ9,500, this is an investment that will accelerate your trajectory in ways no textbook, CV template, or seminar ever could.

What Makes This Stand Out From Others:

  • Guaranteed Internship at a top UK firm
  • Direct exposure to influential leaders and mentors (not just career coaches)
  • Personal brand and pitch coaching from industry pros
  • Unadvertised job access real leads, real intros
  • A high-trust network that continues after the programme ends
  • Delivered in The Shard, London not a Zoom call or classroom
