Sharpe Pritchard welcomes work experience students from our partner charities

Last week Sharpe Pritchard welcomed work experience students from our partner charities, Reach out 2 Kids and The Sutton Trust. Throughout the week, students met with lawyers and staff members from across the firm, undertaking a blend of practical work experience and various workshops, including CV writing, networking, presentation skills and interviewing.

During the week, the students worked in teams to prepare for a final presentation and debate setting out arguments concerning a topical legal issue.

Julia Rudin, Managing Partner “As a firm, we are committed to equality, diversity, inclusion, and social mobility and believe that a person’s access to job opportunities should be determined by the skills and talents they possess rather than their background.

“Work experience is essential to gaining industry experience in various areas of the law and is often the first step towards a legal career.

“We sincerely hope that this project will give students an insight into life at a leading law firm, provide them with valuable experience for future applications and maybe even consider a career with Sharpe Pritchard.
