Practical experience

At CLS we understand that access to the workplace during your studies is a valuable way to gain insight into your prospective career.

With that in mind, we offer opportunities to students to shadow our solicitors at court and in the office.

Time spent observing our highly skilled legal staff is a fantastic way to obtain a better understanding of how we provide high quality legal representation to our clients.

If you wish to apply to take part in this programme and/or other opportunities which support entry to the profession, details of the relevant opportunities will be added to our website shortly.

To receive notifications of updates please add your email to our student/newly qualified solicitor update list when completing the feedback form below.

Please note that the number of shadowing opportunities is dependent upon capacity available throughout our network
