Work Experience Programme

Our work experience programme runs between June and September and is for undergraduates. Please note work experience is unpaid.

The programme is very popular but places are strictly limited. Work experience placements are for just one week. However, we offer a broad range of experience opportunities and try to accommodate anyone who expresses a particular interest in a subject. The areas of possible work experience are listed below:

Legal:

  • Accident Claims
  • Agriculture
  • Commercial 
  • Employment 
  • Family 
  • Litigation 
  • I.T. and Intellectual Property 
  • Planning 
  • Private Client (Wills, Trusts, Tax & Administration of Estates)

Support: 

  • Administration 
  • Finance 
  • Marketing

Please note that whilst the list above is representative of the areas of work Birkett Long Solicitors deals with, no guarantee of placements in particular areas can be made. Every effort will be made to try to accommodate the wishes of applicants where possible.

Applications

The closing date for work experience applications is 31 March each year. All applications are considered after the closing date.

Please submit your application for work experience - by way of full CV and covering letter - by email to Liz O'Mahony. Your covering letter should outline your preference for which office/team and any dates during June-September when you are not available.
