Virtual Experience Programme

Immerse yourself in the world of an international law firm and discover what life if like as a trainee solicitor at Bird & Bird.

In partnership with Forage, the Virtual Experience Programme is an opportunity for you to immerse yourself in the world of an international law firm and discover what life is like as a trainee solicitor. By hosting this opportunity virtually, you’re able to experience life at the firm in your own time and in your own space. 

You’ll complete three modules that will: 

• encourage you to apply law theory to work situations at Bird & Bird; 
• develop your commercial awareness, skills and knowledge; and
• practice reviewing, drafting and analysing legal documents for clients. 

The programme takes 6-8 hours to complete, and you’ll need a tablet, PC or laptop to access the programme online. You’ll gain real work experience and learn directly from us, which you can use on your resume, during interviews, and in your future work as a lawyer. You’ll also earn a certificate to share with prospective employers and your professional network.

If you want to research more into the firm or practice completing some work, the programme is a great place to start. You can complete the free, self-paced programme online.

This programme is open to all.
