Legal Learning at Aston Bond

Here’s a few words from Tom, who has just completed work experience with us this week:

” Completing my work experience week at Aston Bond has been hugely beneficial for my future career prospects and has positively influenced my desire to become a solicitor. As a first-year undergraduate I was keen to learn more about the working world of law and Aston Bond gave me the perfect platform to do so.

On my first day I was introduced to the team who were all super friendly and welcoming which put me at ease straight away. Throughout the week I was exposed to a range of tasks from different areas of law including: Employment law, Residential Conveyancing, and Commercial property.

I was given the responsibility of drafting contracts, leases, letters, and filling out applications for active clients, as well as preparing witness reports and exhibits for a court hearing! I also completed Land Registry applications as well as requisitions and became familiarised with the online filing system. I was never afraid to ask questions if I wasn’t completely sure on what to do and all of the staff were more than happy to offer a helping hand or some top tips.

The relaxed yet focused environment of the office made me feel at home right away and the fact that all of the staff are located on the same floor made it that much easier to talk to people specialising in different areas and build rapport.

I would massively recommend Aston Bond for work experience for anyone interested in a career in law, and I cannot thank all of the staff enough for how much they have helped me this week, it is greatly appreciated! “
