The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) is the institution of choice for the large elite law firms in Spain to select their future lawyers, according to the third edition of the “Universities and Law Firms” report published by El Confidencial, which identifies the large firms’ leading centres for attracting talent.
UC3M once again leads the ranking of universities where the largest number of graduates of the Master's Degree for Access to the Legal Profession do their internships at the 18 largest law firms in Spain, with a total of 112 graduates. It is followed by IE, with 101, and ESADE, with 77.
On the other hand, UC3M is the best Spanish public university in the ranking of universities where the junior lawyers who are joining the large law firms this year completed their undergraduate degrees. It is behind ICADE and ahead of universities such as Pompeu Fabra and the Autonomous University of Madrid.
The “Universities and Law Firms 2023” report published by El Confidencial, which includes 60 universities and business schools, aims to become a tool to connect law firms, training centres and future lawyers. This report is “the best picture of the elite firms’ centres of choice to attract their future lawyers, as well as the essential features of the profile of these young professionals”, say the authors of the report.
To prepare the report, 18 of the main law firms in Spain provided data of the universities where the professionals who, this year, are starting (or have started) their internships prior to entering the job market, studied their Bachelor's and Master's degrees for Access to the Legal Profession.
