If the answer is yes, our virtual programmes could be part of your journey to becoming a lawyer at Pinsent Masons.

Our programmes offer the opportunity to learn by doing, whilst gaining information and experience that will help guide you in the direction that's right for you. We want to offer you experiences that provide the scope to help you shape your path and take the law, and your career, into your own hands.

We've created two different virtual work experience programmes; one for school students keen to understand what a career in law actually means, and what might be involved; and one for under and post-graduate university students who are pursuing a career in law and want to get some experience of the work typically involved in the day of a trainee solicitor.
