        Benefits of being a\u00a0writer<\/strong><\/p>\n

        We can speak from experience when we say that\u00a0writing\u00a0for the site will be a great boost for your CV if you are applying for training contracts or pupillages. It is also a great way to keep on top of the legal and commercial news, which will be helpful for any interviews you have coming up or for staying up to date generally if you already have a future job in place<\/p>\n

        Every month, we run a \u2018Writer of the Month\u2019 competition. The writer (or video maker) with the most views on a single article or video posted during that month will win a \u00a320 Amazon gift card.<\/p>\n
