Family law: Life, litigation and real-world client work
What is it really like to practise family law? In this session, the BPP team will interview a panel of practising family lawyers to explore the realities of working in this challenging and deeply human area of practice. The discussion will cover the nature of the work, the skills required to succeed and the personal qualities that are particularly important when advising clients through significant life events. Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.

Each year, WFW takes on 19 new trainees in the UK. By keeping our intake small and select, we ensure that your two-year training contract will give you a very hands-on experience.
You’ll engage in high-profile work, be in direct contact with clients, and take considerable responsibility. Throughout your time as a trainee, we will give you the support, feedback and infrastructure you need to grow and develop, both professionally and personally.
What makes our training contract unique – and sets it apart from those offered by other law firms – is that we offer six four-month seats (rotations), rather than the standard four six-month seats, with at least one of your six seats being outside the UK.
