Before our programmes start, we will ask you which practice areas interest you to give you the opportunity to gain experience in areas of law that appeal to you the most. In addition to gaining practical legal work experience, you will also be invited to attend presentations on our various practice areas to give you more insight into the breadth of the firm. There will also be plenty of social activities organised, including a day in one of our European offices. During the course of the Work Experience Programme, you should be able to meet, work and socialise with many of the people who work at Mayer Brown, including trainees, associates and partners. About one-third of our trainees completed a Work Experience Programme at Mayer Brown and play an active role in the organisation of each programme, with a trainee ‘buddy’ being allocated to each participant to support you throughout your time with the firm.
