Don’t take our word for it…

I had never worked within the legal industry and wanted to use the opportunity to understand whether law was for me.  I have learnt so much during my year with Moore Barlow and had so many incredible opportunities that have transformed me professionally and personally.  If you’re considering a placement year I would highly recommend Moore Barlow.  There are so many opportunities to get involved

Georgia Newson, placement student and future Moore Barlow trainee solicitor

I applied for a placement at Moore Barlow to develop my legal and personal skills and gain invaluable experience of working in a law firm.  Prior to this placement I lacked experience with digital correspondence, networking and attention to detail. Not only have I improved in these areas, I have also developed an understanding of so much more and became truly immersed in the culture of a leading career firm like Moore Barlow. If you are looking to develop your legal knowledge, grow in confidence, build your network and gain an insight into a top performing law firm then I would truly recommend undertaking a placement year and starting your legal career at Moore Barlow.
