Work Experience at Wolferstans

At Wolferstans, we are passionate about providing opportunities to gain invaluable practical experience for students who are considering a career in law.

Work Experience Week For A-Level and University Students

We’re excited to announce that we will be holding a Work Experience week on June 2nd 2025.

Applications for our Work Experience Week are now CLOSED.

This program is designed to offer valuable hands-on experience and insights into our industry, providing students with the opportunity to develop key skills that will benefit them in their future careers.

This Work Experience week is open to sixth form, undergraduate, and postgraduate students. Whether you’re looking to kickstart your career or gain practical experience, this is a fantastic chance to get involved with a leading organisation.

Want to know how our last Vacation Scheme went? Over the course of the week, university students were able to gain an insight into the key functions of the firm whilst also experiencing the role of a trainee solicitor within each department. They benefitted from the opportunity to network with some of the firms’ partners, associates, and trainees, who each provided invaluable insight into their experiences within the firm and their journey into the law. To assist students through the next stage of their studies, and share what the various routes into law are, we also held a presentation from BARBRI SQE Prep regarding the SQE and the accompanying QWE process.

Here's what one of the students had to say:

"The week was brilliant; allowing me to experience law in practice, learn about the reality of working in a firm and engage with a multitude of different areas of the law. I also had the amazing chance to meet with a variety of people, ranging from thought-provoking discussions with partners of the firm, inspiring talks with trainee solicitors, and even the opportunity to meet with some clients.

Additionally, this Vacation Scheme offered a wealth of information regarding routes to qualifying as a solicitor, helping me further define and plan my next steps after university. A huge thank you to everyone at Wolferstans for being so welcoming and providing such an exciting and interesting experience! I hope to continue being involved with the firm."
