How our Legal Placement works

How our Legal Placement works

We offer a limited number of 3 day placements in our Nottingham office. Our placements are an opportunity to learn about the law, increase your understanding and self-confidence, and learn how Freeths can support you building a successful law career.

"I enjoyed meeting different lawyers, associates or trainees from different sectors and getting an insight into what they do. I found out about what Freeths looks for in a trainee, found about the benefits that you get working for Freeths and the supportive culture."
