Work Experience Event: Opportunities & Overcoming Challenges

Securing meaningful work experience can be an important step for students and aspiring legal professionals, but accessing these opportunities is not always straightforward. At the same time, law firms and legal organisations can face their own practical challenges when creating and delivering valuable work experience placements.

This event will bring together students and members of the legal profession for an engaging panel discussion exploring work experience from both perspectives.

What to Expect

Our panel will consider some of the key challenges surrounding work experience within the legal profession and discuss practical ways in which students, firms and the wider legal community can help overcome them.

An engaging panel discussion exploring work experience opportunities within the legal profession.

Hear from students and legal professionals as they discuss:

• The challenges students face when securing work experience
• The challenges firms face when offering opportunities
• Practical ideas for overcoming these barriers
• The benefits of work experience for both students and legal practices

Q&A and Networking

The panel discussion will be followed by an open Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to put their questions directly to the speakers and explore the issues raised during the discussion in greater detail.

There will also be time for informal networking, providing an opportunity for students, aspiring legal professionals and those already working within the profession to meet, exchange ideas and make new connections.

Whether you are a student looking to gain experience, an aspiring lawyer seeking greater insight into the profession, or a legal professional interested in supporting the next generation, this event offers an opportunity to hear different perspectives, share ideas and explore how we can collectively improve access to meaningful work experience.
