“I really appreciated how practical and realistic the tasks were. The program gave me hands-on experience with core legal skills like due diligence and drafting, which are essential in shipping finance. I liked that it combined technical knowledge with real-world application, using authentic templates and scenarios. It felt like a genuine insight into the work trainees do at a top law firm.”

The best aspect of the program is the opportunity it gives students to perform work identical to real-life tasks, such as filling in information in a letter of undertaking, while also providing a clear explanation of the context of each task. This allows students to understand and observe different relevant parts of a shipping finance transaction.

I enjoyed the opportunity to work on a case which required such a high level of detail and precision. It was also very helpful to be able to instantly compare my answers to the exemplars provided. It was an interesting glimpse into the type of work that WFW do and has been useful in informing my decision to apply to the firm.
