New for 2021, the First Steps with Fieldfisher Programme has been designed for penultimate year students or those in their second year of a four year course. The programme will give you an insight into a career at Fieldfisher and put you in a strong position to apply for any other Early Careers programme in the future. 

On day one, you'll learn more about us, our culture, work and strategy. You will also attend workshops that will help you develop your personal and professional skillset.

You will also have a number of opportunities to socialise with our Fee Earners through networking events and an evening social.

During day two and day three you'll shadow a trainee or an associate, gaining real life experience of a solicitor in a commercial City Law Firm.

  • On track to achieve a 2:1 in any degree discipline.

As with all application processes, there are several stages but our dedicated Early Careers Team will be on hand throughout the entire process to give you all support you need.
