the work experience involved... a welcome session introducing us to the company, telling us about the work experience agenda a meet your supervisors meeting who were trainees a jaffa cake exersice where we had to create an argument saying if jaffa cakes are biscuits or cakes an entry to law presentation a panel talk with solicitors a drafting clause exercise cv and application tips pro bono presentation commercial awareness workshop lease report task a day in the life of a solicitor introduction to personal resilience feedback session

from my work experience at pinsent masons i learnt teamworking skills whilst working on group tasks in chat rooms, i also leant alot about the skills involved in being a solicitor and other roles in law, i also was able to become more confident in my ideas and skills when doing individual tasks

i enjoyed my work experience at Pinsent masons thoroughly, the experience overall was very insightful and was not boring at any stage it was always very interactive and allowed students to express their ideas on different tasks and exercises. The leaders were very helpful and made the work very fun and always explained tasks very well

the work experience at pinsent masons was very well thought out and everything had a good structure to it, the tasks were very planned, and all materials were available for everyone, tasks were related to the presentations taught before and everything made sense to me. Overall it was clear alot of thought was put into the whole experience

during my work experience at Pinsent masons i learnt so much about company culture that i would have never known without the experience which really opened my eyes to what it's like to work in a law firm. Its clear that Pinsent masons have a very healthy work environment, and everyone feels involved in some way

the work experience i did at Pinsent masons really helped me to decide that law is the route i want to go down through its fun group tasks and its insightful presentations. The team at Pinsent masons were very helpful in answering any questions i had about law or university

No, although i was not paid during my work experience at Pinsent masons i still feel i have got something way more important than money from this experience, that being knowledge. The experience really helped clear up any difficulties i had when discussing university life and in the work place.

When doing my work experience at Pinsent masons i was given the opportunity to make many friends with the same interests as me and those thinking of pursuing a career in law or something that works alongside the law. I was able to communicate with many people and share ideas with them

Yes

i would definitely recommend Pinsent mason work experience opportunity to anyone interested in law as it is a great company with many amazing employees with a lot of support available for students. I would also recommend the company as a whole, and will definitely be keeping them in mind when looking for a job in the future

The advice i would give to those applying to Pinsent masons in the future is to be yourself on the application and don't lie because it will get you nowhere, also make sure to use the whole word limit and don't leave anything out they want to know about you!
