Work Experience

Explore the world of law through Broadfield’s work experience programmes — designed to inform, inspire, and ignite ambition. Across a structured week of engaging talks, hands-on workshops, and real-world case studies, work experience students gain valuable insight into the legal profession and what it’s like to work at a leading law firm. Whether considering a legal career or just beginning to explore their options, students will have the opportunity to build confidence, ask questions, and develop practical skills in a supportive environment.
