  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • From my weeks work experience at Hogan Lovells I have learnt new skills in terms of working as a team due to the group presentation that we took part in preparing. It was also useful to recognise how a law firm functions on a day to day basis and this helped me to understand this environment more.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well organised. We were given a clear structure of events on the first day that we followed exactly and took part in all activities/workshops at the designated slots.This was useful as we knew exactly what we were doing everyday and when we were doing it which allowed us to organise our time accordingly and take full advantage of the work experience programme provided by Hogan Lovells

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • We received a lot of support [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] throughout the week. They also emailed us before the work experience took place which was useful because we had our point of contact established before we even began with the work experience. This meant we all felt more comfortable going into our work experience and they made the week very enjoyable and useful for everyone who took part.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • My weeks long work experience at Hogan Lovells in 2015 has provided me with a rich and useful amount of experience and the group activity that we took part in throughout the week was also highly beneficial in terms of opportunities outside of the Hogan Lovells environment as it has helped me to develop my skills in this specific area which was ultimately go on to help me in later employment.

  • 9. Would you recommend Hogan Lovells to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would reccomend the weeks long work experience that I participated in at Hogan Lovells to a friend who was interested in pursuing a career in law because the work experience enabled me to understand more about the law profession and about what actually happens in a law firm. In this respect it also helped to understand the day to day, ordinary challenges that a law firm as big as Hogan Lovells may face


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Hogan Lovells?
  • I would urge my peers to apply for the week long work experience at Hogan Lovells, even if they weren't interested in pursing a career in law because it provides people with a lot of experience that they can go on to use in later employment that is not necessarily related to the law profession.
