Work experience

Kingsley Napley is an internationally recognised law firm based in Central London. We support individuals and businesses in resolving conflict, safeguarding their futures and maximising opportunities. Our wide range of expertise means that we can provide support for our clients in all areas of their business and private life. Many of our lawyers are leaders in their field and our practice areas are highly ranked by the legal directories.

Kingsley Napley offers a number of unpaid work experience placements throughout the year, giving students an insight into life at a busy London law firm.

Every work experience placement is different, but all our placements are designed to give students the opportunity to make the most out of their time at KN. During a work experience placement you will meet people from across the firm and gain real hands-on experience by sampling lots of different aspects of the role of a lawyer, including;

• Attending court and meetings with clients and counsel
• Legal research tasks
• Drafting documents
• Shadowing qualified lawyers
• General administration such as bundling

Applications for work experience are reviewed at the end of February each year, and successful candidates will be contacted in early March to be offered work experience at the Firm.

Work experience placements are not remunerated and candidates must be at least 18 years of age, and entitled to work in the UK in order to apply, due to the sensitive nature of the work we undertake.

Due to the large volume of applications that we receive, we will only be able to contact and provide feedback to successful candidates.
