The Sheffield Hallam University Law Department are excited to offer a unique opportunity for local law firms and legal departments to benefit from the support of our talented law students through our short placement program.
From October to April, our law students are available to work one day a week in your legal department.
How can our students help you:
⭐ They can assist with a variety of legal tasks, including but not limited to:
◽ Costs drafting
◽ Risk and compliance work
◽ Intellectual property
◽ Contract review and drafting
◽ Legal research and document drafting
◽ Observing client meetings and court hearings
◽ Business development tasks
This program provides a fantastic opportunity for your firm to:
◽ Access additional legal support at no cost
◽ Mentor and shape the next generation of legal professionals
◽ Enhance your firm’s profile within the local legal community
◽ Potentially identify and recruit future legal assistants, paralegals, or trainees
We ensure that all participating students have an induction covering professional work ethics and conduct. While some administrative work is expected, our students are eager to engage in substantive legal tasks that provide meaningful learning experiences.
We would love to discuss how our students can contribute to your firm and answer any questions you may have.
