FULL DESCRIPTION

At [Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk], we understand the importance to those aspiring to a career in law in gaining hands on experience within a law firm. We are therefore pleased to be able to offer work placements each year to those who may be studying and considering a career in law, or actively pursuing a legal career.

Who the scheme is suitable for

Our placements are aimed at those aged 18 and above. However, in line with our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy, we actively seek to promote access to the legal profession for those typically underrepresented within the legal industry.

We therefore prioritise two work placements each year for individuals who share characteristics with those underrepresented groups.

When are the placements?

  • 2 x one week work placements during the Easter period based at one of our offices.
  • 6 x one week work placements during the Summer period based at one of our offices.

Our week-long programme is designed to give you an opportunity to experience and understand the practical skills required for a career in law. You will gain experience through spending time with our legal advisers in various departments, undertaking drafting and research tasks whilst receiving feedback with the opportunity to ask questions of the teams to gain a better understanding of a career in law.

How to apply

Select “Apply now” complete the online application form and provide any other requested details.

This is not always possible due to the high number of applications received and we shall be in touch as soon as possible following the closing date for each round of applications.
