Programme details
What work experience do we offer?
One week’s work experience gaining an insight into the different roles which can be undertaken in a law firm, with valuable work experience in many areas including Complex Personal Injury, Family, Commercial Litigation, Public Law, Corporate Law and Private Client. Our programme provides the opportunity to see that there is more to a law firm than solicitors and paralegals.
As well as gaining an insight into these roles and the different aspect of the law we cover, our work experience programme also offers the opportunity to see other roles including HR, IT and facilities. We also provide CV workshops and opportunities to build skills through interviews and presentations which students can draw on in their CV and interviews, workshops with our Early Careers and an insight into our Diversity & Inclusion policies and procedures.
