A level Work Experience Placements
What to expect

You’ll spend time one-to-one with different legal departments, giving you the opportunity to see how various areas of law are practised, from client care and case management to the inner workings of legal processes.
The four areas could be anything (dependent on availability) from the following listed.
If you have a specific area of law of interest to you, we will do our best to accommodate.
- Personal Injury
- Administration
- Children Law
- Discrimination
- Wills & Probate
- Conveyancing
- Family Law
You’ll be encouraged to ask questions and engage directly with qualified professionals across the firm, helping you understand not just the ‘what’ but the ‘why’ behind legal decisions.
You may have the chance to sit in on internal meetings, observe client appointments (where appropriate), and see how legal files are run day-to-day. The placement provides plenty of opportunities to gain valuable insights, and experience the fast-paced reality of working within a leading regional law firm.

Testimonials
This placement was a really great opportunity and it has given me some really useful insight into possible areas I may pursue in the future.
Overall, I enjoyed both days of the work experience and it was a really good insight into the different departments, especially with seeing some cases you go through and the realities of being a solicitor. I really enjoyed the family/children department and Costa was really good at explaining the different areas of the law which is used in that department which was really useful considering my limited knowledge on that area. Clinical neg/Personal injury was also really useful with learning about how they assess the claims and the task I did was quite interesting, especially when using case law. Being with reception was also relatively helpful to see the behind the scenes and whilst in discrimination, the quiz I did was actually quite helpful in getting a basic understanding of what you deal with on a daily basis.”
