Work Experience

We understand the importance of work experience at all stages of academic study and here at Mace & Jones we are very pleased to be able to offer a varied range of placement opportunities.

School work experience placements

We take our responsibilities for safeguarding young people very seriously and only offer placements to school students when applications come as part of their school's designated work placement scheme.

You will have an opportunity to experience a number of aspects of life in a law firm - for example: general administration, marketing, training library research and shadowing a trainee solicitor.

Application letters should give a short summary of your interests and ambitions and be addressed to Jeanne Andrew, HR Officer, Drury House, 19 Water Street, Liverpool, L2 0RP or by email to jeanne.andrew@maceandjones.co.uk. If your application is successful you will be asked for supporting documentation from your school.

Vacation Placements

University undergraduates can also experience a taste of work and life at Mace & Jones by joining our summer vacation placement scheme. We also offer places to postgraduates prior to LPC or GDL courses.

We offer the opportunity to spend two weeks working directly alongside our own trainee solicitors who will act as your 'buddy' for the duration of the placement. You will also have the benefit of additional training sessions from some of our own in-house experts so you go away with a true insight into the world of work at Mace & Jones.

We do not use our vacation placement scheme as a precursor to a training contract as applications are processed independently of each other. If you wish to be considered for a vacation placement you should complete the on-line application form.

Placement dates for 2008 are two weeks between 30 June and 18 July.

Closing date for applications is 30 April 2008.
