Gaining the industry edge
You need the real industry experience found in Law programs like those offered at VU
Neil Andrews
Bachelor of Laws
Principal Lawyer at Slater & Gordon, Neil Andrews tells us that he considers practical experience the key to becoming a successful lawyer.
“Law graduates today need hands-on experience and employers are looking for that more and more. A degree with practical legal service makes graduates more competitive and sets them apart from the pack.
For anyone becoming a lawyer, particularly in our sector (personal injury), you need to be a 'people person'.
You need the confidence and ability to interact with people from all walks of life.
These skills can’t be learnt in theory – you need the real industry experience found in Law programs like those offered at VU.”
