We invite those of you who are considering a career in law to register for our introductory Legal Insights Programme, which is aimed at those of you who are 16 years of age (year 12 students or equivalent) and above; you do not have to be currently studying.
We understand that making career decisions can be difficult. How do you know whether a career in law is right for you? How do you know if an apprenticeship would suit you? Our aim is to provide you with the information and resources to help answer these questions.
Our introductory Legal Insights Programme includes online, interactive sessions that will develop your understanding of how a law firm works, what we do here at Weightmans, and what legal career pathways are available to you.
