More than 30 leading law firms will attend the University’s Bonar Hall on Tuesday 28 October for the 2025 Legal Recruitment Fair, with the event providing the opportunity to learn more about job and internship opportunities throughout the industry.

The annual event regularly attracts hundreds of students and graduates from Dundee and other universities from across Scotland. The Dundee event is already one of the largest of its kind, with the University having established a reputation as one of the UK’s leading institutions for studying Law. 

Alison Mackay, from the University’s Careers Service, said, “Dundee has an established track record of producing motivated, workplace-ready graduates. This is attractive to prospective employers, who know that attending our Legal Recruitment Fair gives them the opportunity to meet with highly talented, aspiring legal professionals.

“Law students who have studied here at Dundee have gone on to play crucial roles throughout the legal system in Scotland and beyond. Our Legal Recruitment Fair will present many of our future graduates with the knowledge and opportunities that will inform their career choices.”

The University of Dundee Legal Recruitment Fair runs from 11:00-14:30 on Tuesday 28 October. Attendance is free but registration in advance is required, which can be completed by visiting the University website.
