Withers Graduate Careers

Overview

During the two week placement you’ll have the opportunity to see and complete real work in two different departments. Supervised by a solicitor you will be involved in  current casework and get a real taste of life as solicitor. You will also be assigned a ‘buddy’ from our trainee group who will be on hand to ensure that any questions you have about the firm are answered.

Over the two-week period we run a fun and interesting case study where you work alongside others to gain an insight into a ‘case’ from beginning to end. You will be asked to take part in a client meeting, draft correspondence and mediate a settlement agreement.

Find out first hand about our vacation schemes. Here, some of our vacation schemers talk about the work undertaken and their thoughts on the scheme.
