If you have family relations with any law firm partner and you've done decentish from any law college, nothing in the world says you won't be recruited at that partners firm. Sad but reality, we had a senior in our college who had multiple backlogs.. today's he's an A2 at a Tier 1.
OP here. Thanks for your responses. Quick follow up - if someone cold emails seniors in the firm, would that count as a referral too (assuming the email reaches the HR as well from the senior forwarding it)?
I forward all the cold emails to the HR with a line that "I received this application today. I do not know the person though." If I really like the CV and there is vacancy in the team, I forward it to the partner with a line for scheduling interview. However, I have never forwarded emails from freshers to the partner. All of those go the HR.
considering the fact the partner is willing to make a referral , does the person cv has to be the best for reference or does the partner words make the confirmation itself?
