Our legal work experience programme is designed for students in the year before their penultimate year of legal studies who are interested in exploring a career in commercial law. The programme provides a practical and engaging introduction to life at Pinsent Masons, offering insight into the work of our lawyers and trainees.
Through an induction programme and buddy support, you will be welcomed into the firm from day one and encouraged to make the most of every opportunity. Working alongside lawyers and trainees on real client matters, you will take part in structured learning activities, skills sessions and presentations while gaining exposure to a range of practice areas.
The programme offers the opportunity to build professional relationships, develop key skills and gain a deeper understanding of the legal profession through training, networking and social events. Throughout the programme, you can look forward to:
tasks which will help you to develop your existing knowledge and skills, as well as picking up some new ones
