We received hundreds of applications for our 2010 Legal Launch Pad programme, with a deluge in the last few days before the closing date. Applications for the 2011 programme are now open and the deadline is 3pm on 30 November. The best tip for success is to ensure you read the guidelines and FAQs thoroughly, ensure you cover all the requirements and apply in plenty of time, avoiding the last minute rush when your application may miss the deadline or you may have insufficient time to collate and provide all the necessary documentation.
