Testimonials

Jordan Tucker - Graduate Legal Professional, Belfast

"The Graduate Legal Professional Scheme at Fieldfisher is an amazing way for any graduate to dip their toes into the practical legal world and launch their career. The rotation of seats means you gain a vast array of experience and the Civil Litigation training with the University of Law helps to bridge the gap between finishing your studies and entering the world of work. The work is hands on, and you really are made to feel like part of the departmental team. Throughout the program, you are thoroughly supported by both the Belfast team and an individual supervisor depending on your seat. The larger intake of graduates also means you have a readymade group of peers who are in the same position as you, and that additional support network is invaluable. This scheme is a must-apply for any budding legal mind!"

Mia Scott - HR Apprentice, Belfast

Fieldfisher instantly stood out to me when researching apprenticeships, I had investigated their values and what they do as well as reviews that had been given from former employees, all of which were very positive. The recruitment process and assessment centre were planned well and overall, it was a smooth, organised process.

Since joining my role as an HR Apprentice within Fieldfisher I have developed many new skills and qualities. These vary from increase in confidence, team working skills, time management and communication. The ACE scheme is a great way to learn about your desired interest as well as putting newly gained knowledge into practice. I have been extremely welcomed by anyone I have come across within my role and have developed a great working relationship with my team. I have had the opportunity to sit in on meetings and complete relevant tasks that give me a wider knowledge of my role and Fieldfisher as a whole. Within my HR Apprenticeship I get to rotate seats every 6 months all of which allow me to see HR from a different perspective.

Fieldfisher offer various schemes and activities to be involved in, which is a great way of getting to know new people and fellow apprentices. These include things like the Hive, charity events, social events, and team activities for specific occasions.

Ben Mellor - IT/DMS Apprentice, Manchester

"I joined Fieldfisher 6 months ago through the ACE Apprentice program, and I can already say working here has granted me many opportunities to learn, develop and grow in a professional working environment. Everyone I have worked at the firm has been welcoming and friendly, but most of all they are very knowledgeable in their fields whilst being open to share their vast experience.

During my day-to-day at Fieldfisher, as an apprentice in the IT department, I am given the opportunity to work, collaborate and communicate with many different teams on various projects that help the firm in its operation. What I have also noticed during my time at Fieldfisher is that the firm is very open and keen to develop your skills and abilities, I was offered the chance for a secondment to another team in IT which allowed me to improve in not just my technical ability but my communication, teamwork, and my capability to handle various projects at one time.

Overall, I have massively enjoyed my time at the Firm so far and I am looking forward to continuing my career and personal development here."

Nicholas Gannon - Business Administration Apprentice, Belfast

Since starting as a Legal Support Services Apprentice with Fieldfisher in September 2023, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the opportunities I have been presented with. I have already picked up so many new skills from my first 6 months at the firm. Skills such as communication, organisation, adaptability, and initiative. As I am a Legal Support Services Apprentice, I have the privilege of being in both the Practice Administration Team and DPU (document production unit). This has been extremely beneficial for me as an apprentice, as I have been able to gain knowledge and understanding of two different departments of the business which has both challenged and benefitted me massively to adapting to full time work.

After a gap year I came across the apprenticeship advertised on a job site, and it instantly caught my eye as an 'earn while you learn' apprenticeship scheme appealed to me a lot. I attended an assessment centre which was such a great opportunity to gain experience in a professional environment. The studying side of the apprenticeship fits in perfectly to my schedule and is ran excellently. I am given allocated study hours for when I have any assignment deadlines or exams coming up.

There is an extremely positive working atmosphere at the firm, everyone is extremely pleasant, and I am never afraid to approach anyone for support. I am constantly learning new skills every day which helps me progress and a fast rate.
