Shepherd and Wedderburn has introduced an interactive virtual
work experience programme to give aspiring lawyers an insight into
what life is like as a trainee solicitor at the firm.
In collaboration with Forage, a virtual work experience
specialist, the firm has created a short programme focused on
intellectual property (IP) law, offering one to two hours' work
experience that replicates the tasks that trainees undertake.
Shepherd and Wedderburn is the first Scottish-headquartered law
firm to offer a programme through the Forage platform.
The experience is available to anybody who is interested in
finding out more about the work of the firm's intellectual
property team. There is no application process and participants can
complete the programme in their own time, earning a personalised
certificate to share with prospective employers and their
professional network.
