Work Experience for School Pupils

We welcome school pupils on work experience programmes who are looking to gain an insight into a career in the legal sector. Our work experience programme is predominantly shadowing and assisting the clerking team. There may be an opportunity for school pupils to spend time with our finance and marketing teams, however this will depend on a variety of factors and cannot be guaranteed.

We do not offer barrister shadowing outside of our mini-pupillage programme. School pupils are not eligible for mini-pupillages. It may be possible to take school pupils to a court or tribunal hearing during their time with us, but again this will depend on a variety of factors and cannot be guaranteed.

We only have a limited number of work experience spaces available each year. Some of the work is likely to be physical in nature, so please let us know if this will present any difficulty and we will make reasonable adjustments.

For more information, please email Jo Keable, Operations Manager.
