Learn what life is like as a solicitor at an international law firm with our online work experience.

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 solicitor at Bird & Bird.

Develop your knowledge of what a solicitor actually does and use this experience during the recruitment process to showcase your enthusiasm for a career in law. Did you know Forage applicants are 13.4x more likely to receive an offer compared to non-Forage applicants at Bird & Bird? 70% of future trainees completed the programme, so it's phenomenally successful. 

At the end of the programme, you'll earn a certificate to share with prospective employers and your professional network, as well as a recruiter-approved guide on how to showcase this new experience during the recruitment process at Bird & Bird. 

The programme takes 7-8 hours to complete, and you will need a tablet, PC or laptop to access the programme online. If you do not have the equipment to complete this programme, such as a laptop or computer, please contact earlycareers@twobirds.com.
