Legal Navigator Learner Experience: Obtaining Work Experience

Welcome to the Law Training Centre Legal Navigator Podcast with your host Rebecca Ogunmayun.

Wondering where to begin with obtaining your legal work experience?

For this week’s episode of the Legal Navigator Podcast, we spoke to Law Training Centre learner Gemma Cozens and tutor Shahedur Rohman about gaining work experience whilst studying, alongside Daniel Denton, Access Law Clinic‘s first Law Clinic Associate.

Plus, we were also joined by special guest from Wilson Browne Solicitors, Holly Threlfall, who gave us some interesting insights from an employer’s perspective.

“I guess a bit of advice I would say is go to it with an open mind…When you’re getting work experience, don’t have a closed mind, have an open mind because you never know what might actually take for you.” – Holly Threlfall, Partner and Head of Corporate & Commercial at Wilson Browne Solicitors

“I know people don’t like hearing this, but sometimes it does come down to luck. But at other times you have to create your own luck as well and just create the opportunity and the environment in your mind frame so that you’re open, you keep yourself open to such opportunities.” – Shahedur Rohman, Associate Solicitor at BWB and Tutor at Law Training Centre
