A brand new experience for 2022

We’re bringing you an entirely new Internship Experience UK this year with senior representatives from leading law firms for you to network with. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the types of work you’ll be doing in law and work on a project set directly by the employers themselves. Plus, this year you’ll be able to:

• Connect with leading firms across the law sector, including Herbert Smith Freehills, Slaughter and May and Clyde & Co
• Supercharge your CV ahead of the application season by participating in a work sample which has been set by the firms themselves

Sessions you’ll get

During the three-day experience, you’ll connect with leading employers from the law sector to give you new perspectives on the work you can do and take part in workshops on topics including:

• The theory behind commercial and contentious negotiations and practical tips for real-world applications - Herbert Smith Freehills
• Insight into global loans - Ashurst
• The anatomy of a deal - Sidley Austin

You will also attend exclusive employer-led sessions to help you gain the most sought-after skills for your future applications, interviews and roles:

• Learn how to demonstrate transferable skills with ICAEW
• Become a pro at preparing for interviews with PwC
• Perfect your presentation skills with WTW
