Learn more about the firm
Law firms have different cultures and specialisms, and it can be hard to assess if a firm is right for you from the outside. Our Open Days, webinars, and work experience schemes give you the opportunity to learn about the firm, hear from our lawyers, and experience what makes Taylor Wessing special.
Taster Week
20 October-24 October 2025
As part of our Taster Week, we invite you to a series of Open Days designed to provide you with valuable insights into our firm. During these events, you will have the opportunity to connect with our senior lawyers and trainee solicitors who will share their experiences and expertise.
You'll need to complete our short application form to secure your place.
Webinar Week
29 September-3 October 2025
Throughout Webinar Week, we'll host a series of online events covering the various sectors we specialise in and provide guidance from our Early Talent team. During our sector spotlight series, you’ll hear from our senior lawyers about the pivotal role of each of our sectors. You’ll also have opportunities to engage with the Early Talent team and our lawyers through online sessions designed to offer insight into life at Taylor Wessing and the application process.
Inspiring
Online work experience
Join our bespoke online work experience scheme, Inspiring, which will enable you to experience life as a trainee. Test your resilience through four different seats undertaking a series of tailored tasks, along with appraisals to see how you have performed. You'll have the opportunity to explore some of the firm's key practice areas such as Real Estate, Private Client, and Patents.
First year opportunities
In May, we host our First Year Insight Day where you'll get the chance to learn more about the firm, network, and think commercially. This is a great step to ensure you're ready to apply for our Vacation Scheme opportunities.
To apply for our 2026 First Year Insight Day, you'll need to be in the first year of your degree (studying any subject) and complete an application form to attend.
Applications are currently closed and will open on 2 March 2026.
Solicitor Apprentice Open Evening
We'll be hosting online and in-person Solicitor Apprenticeship Open Evenings in February 2026.
Our Open Evenings are a great opportunity to speak with the Early Talent team and solicitor apprentices to find out more about the firm and our scheme. To attend an Open Evening, you need to be in the final year of your A-levels or equivalent. Parents and guardians are welcome to join the sessions (and we encourage them to join too!). The in-person session will be held in our London office, and expenses will be covered for those attending.
Registration opens on 1 September 2025 and closes on 1 January 2026.
