Programme details

We offer a week-long work experience programme, currently operating on a virtual basis, where students participate in interactive sessions learning about topics such as career paths to becoming a lawyer (both in private practice and in-house), life as a trainee solicitor and an in-house lawyer, different areas of law, plus Diversity & Inclusion and Global Citizenship at White & Case and a look at the range of Business Services roles at a firm like ours. We run workshops on CV and interview preparation, presentation and negotiation skills, social media presence and developing professional confidence. Students present to senior management at the end of the week on their time with us.

We recruit participating students from our three partner schools in Lambeth: St Thomas the Apostle College, Lillian Baylis Technology School and Platonos College. When the programme can be held in our office, we cover travel and meal expenses for the duration of the programme.

Students join us for the last week of their summer school term.

Who can apply?
We offer places to students from our partner schools who meet the PRIME criteria. Applications open at the start of each year.
