[This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] “What we make is ideas, what we solve is puzzles”. If you feel you can embody this quote then research Clifford chance. A magic circle firm may seem intimidating at first but if you are interesting in commercial law, do your research, attend Clifford chance open days and determine how you can articulate which part of the firm resonated with you the most.
