WJM Announces Summer Placements for Law Students

WJM is introducing a Summer Placement scheme for law students.

Lasting four weeks, each paid placement will give law students a flavour of what it’s like to work in private practice in a busy, client-centric law firm.

Gaye Simpson, Director of HR, said, “The WJM Summer Placement scheme will allow students to experience various practice areas within the firm, will provide insight to WJM and its culture and will help them decide if applying for a traineeship at WJM is the route for them.”

WJM’s Chief Executive, Liam Entwistle, added “I am delighted that we have developed a Summer Placement scheme which allows law students to see what working for a private practice is like. Not only do the students benefit but we do too. We benefit from the enthusiasm that students bring to the workplace and from being able to identify the future legal stars of tomorrow.”

Applications for June 2015 close on 15th May 2015
