Work Experience Student Review

Each day we had an insight at the different departments at Pinsent Masons, giving us the chance to experience what it is like to be a trainee solicitor. We were also given research tasks which would normally be done by trainee solicitors. Each morning we had presentations which would be relevant to us, for example entry to law and Litigation. On our last day of our work experience we were given a business group exercise to do, which involved us finding a solution to a companies problem and presenting them to the trainee solicitors and peers. My time at Pinsent Masons has been extremely valuable as without it I would never have the chance to experience different areas of law and what solicitors actually do.

During my time at Pinsent Masons I have learn how to conduct Legal Research tasks which will give me an advantage in the future. The short length of time has taught me so much I would have never known without this experience, my work experience has made me even more dedicated to pursue the career I want.

My weeks work experience has been highly valuable and enjoyable, it has shown me the dedication and hard work that goes in to becoming a solicitor. I have listened to other people's experiences of applying for university, starting university, trying to get a traineeship, which I would never know without my time at Pinsent Masons

Pinsent Masons has welcomed us and been able to give us an insight in to the world of law, trainee solicitors have taken time from their busy working life to be able to give us a chance to help work experience students, which was very much appreciated.

The work experience programme at Pinsent Masons has been extremely well organised and made sure students knew exactly what was happening but also giving them the freedom of a trainee solicitor instead of a set school routine.

Each trainee solicitor has been very approachable and helpful, the policy Pinsent Masons prides themselves on, Approachable, Bold and Connected. From my short experience at Pinsent Masons I have understood the excellent work environment here at Pinsent Masons.

The HR Team, despite not working in the same office made sure every question was answered and we were given the support we required. The organisation of the programme made sure the week ran smoothly without any issues.

The work experience programme was unpaid but was extremely valuable experience which be useful now and in the future however each student was given a £5 lunch voucher to use in the office café.

Pinsent Masons has multiple company events throughout the year and is able to include everyone from university students studying law to partners of the firm.

Make sure to be well prepared for your week at Pinsent Masons and have as many questions as possible as they will be answered for you no matter what they may be
