Upcoming Opportunities with Watson Farley & Williams, international law firm.

Here is some information about three fantastic opportunities with Watson Farley and Williams (WFW),  which could be of great interest to  students who are aspiring to build careers in the legal sector.


WFW Video Interview Webinar


Are you in Year 13 and an aspiring solicitor - or do you know someone who is?

We’re pleased to share an upcoming opportunity to boost your legal career prospects: a Video Interview Webinar hosted in partnership with WFW on Wednesday, 29th January from 4:45pm to 6:30pm.

This interactive online event will give you the essential skills and confidence to excel in solicitor degree apprenticeship video interviews, especially for WFW but the advice will be valuable for any legal application. You’ll learn what employers are looking for, understand what makes for a strong interview, and receive practical tips on how to stand out. Plus, you’ll have the chance to chat with current WFW trainees and hear their top interview advice.

The event is open to Year 13 students in or around Greater London who meet the eligibility criteria outlined in our application form. Spaces are limited, so be sure to secure your spot soon!

WFW Virtual Work Experience

WFW are thrilled to offer a virtual work experience programme, particularly suited to students in Year 13 or first year of their university undergraduate degree.

This opportunity gives you the chance to step into the shoes of a WFW team member for the day, completing tasks that replicate the work that trainee solicitors do every day. You'll be able to work through the different modules at your own pace, and should take approximately two to three hours to complete. 

Participants will gain skills that can help with their studies, and also with making an informed decision about whether WFW could be a firm that you'd like to work at in the future.
