Work experience - Summer/Autumn 2025 - Kingsley Napley

Deadline 31 March 2025

We offer number of in-person work experience placements in July and again in September every year, giving attendees an insight into life at a busy London law firm.

Our programme is designed to give attendees the opportunity to make the most out of their time at KN. During the programme you will sit in 5 of our practice areas, meeting people from across the firm and gaining real hands-on experience by sampling lots of different aspects of the role of a lawyer. Successful applicants will attend 5 days of work experience, from 9:30am to 5:30 pm every day. Each day you will sit in one of our practice areas. Tasks will include:

• Attending court and meetings with clients and counsel
• Legal research tasks
• Drafting documents
• Shadowing qualified lawyers
• General administration such as bundling

What are the requirements?

• Applicants must be over 18 years old and show a keen interest in working in law and at Kingsley Napley.
• We will not offer work experience to candidates who have already received a training contract offer from Kingsley Napley or any other firms.
• You must have the legal right to work in the UK, and we will complete a right to work check on your first day in the office.

The work experience is unpaid but we will reimburse you for your travel costs and provide breakfast and lunch in our internal restaurant.
