Work Experience Student Review

Attending teams calls where we listened to trainees and solicitors about different aspects of Pinsent Masons and doing a few interactive tasks

Not much, much of the information provided about joining the legal profession were things I already knew

It was interesting, and something good to talk about. I enjoyed the sessions where we were reading through a lease/ piece of legislation the most

The sessions were fully planned out and there were few, if any, technical problems

Pinsent Masons seems like an inclusive place to work, but not much about the culture because a lot of the people we heard from were junior so we couldn't get a full understanding of the comapny

I had already decided I wanted to do law before the course so it hasn't influenced my decisions much other than I now think I would rather be a barrister than a solicitor.

no. The work experience scheme wasn't paid, but I wasn't expecting it to be paid

Very little. We aren't allowed to connect with the trainees or solicitors online and there wasn't much interaction between the people doing the work experience

Yes

It seems like a friendly place, less stressful than some of the magic circle firms

Take time to fill in the application but it doesn't need to be perfect, just talk about things you are interested in
