work experience Review

I gained a perspective on what a law firm is really like in order to become more confident in my decision to study law at University. I shadowed a trainee solicitor for a week where i helped with any tasks given that would help them.

I gained more confidence and learned valuable problem solving skills and team work skills when working on a mock tribunal

I thoroughly enjoyed my week of work experience and I would recommend to any student who is interested in studying law. The people are very friendly and always there to help if you are stuck.

It was very well organised. We were given a folder on the first day with everything we needed for the week inside. The presentations and group tasks were also well thought out and useful.

I learned a lot about what a law firm was truly like throughout the week and my opinion completely changed on what lawyers are really like in a work environment.

This work experience greatly helped me confirm that I am going to pursue a career in law as it showed me what the job would involve and showed me how much I would enjoy it.

We were not paid but we were given the cost of our travelling expenses back.

All students undertaking the work experience were grouped together from the start which made us very close and all the staff were very friendly and open to the idea of us working there in the future.

Yes

A very friendly environment that is well organised and gives you a real feel for what a career in law would be like.

To not be anxious about not knowing enough before going in, all the staff are very friendly and approachable and make you feel part of the team.
