Global virtual work experience programme
At A&O Shearman, we recognise legal work can be difficult to obtain at times. Which is why we’ve partnered with Forage to design a globally accessible virtual work experience. The self-paced, modular experience will provide you with an important understanding of the day-to-day tasks a commercial lawyer at A&O Shearman will face. It helps you gain a valuable insight into your chosen career path by exposing you to some of the tasks and responsibilities you would face in the role and start developing the skills to help make you successful. It also is a great tool to help you decide if your chosen career path is the right one for you. This programme is open to all and there are no minimum requirements to join. We also offer an alternative virtual work experience for school and college leavers based on Employment Law. Start your virtual work experience today:
