When recruiting trainees one of the many things we look for is relevant work experience because it indicates a genuine interest in pursuing a legal career based on an appreciation of the reality of legal work. If you are thinking of applying to Field Seymour Parkes as a trainee, we would encourage you to apply for work experience with us to gain a better understanding of what it will be like to be one of our trainee solicitors.

We are continually reviewing our work experience programme to ensure participants get the best experience in a practical and accessible way. During the week you will spend time with our Corporate, Business Services, Commercial Property, Wills, Trusts and Estates and Family team. As you can imagine, you’ll have an invaluable opportunity to gain a wide range of experience in different areas of law. You’ll be taking part in group activities, practical exercises, role plays, discussions and more. You’ll have the opportunity to network and really show your passion for law.
The week-long programme will be held at our office in Reading, giving you the opportunity to really get a good experience of what life is like at FSP.
