Virtual experience programme
Our virtual experience programme will allow you to gain hands-on experience of the type of tasks a trainee would get involved in while working in our Private Equity, Finance and Restructuring teams. The programme will give you a series of scenarios that throw you into the tasks a trainee will typically take on at Weil. They're designed to immerse you in some of our practice areas and develop your commercial awareness; something we look for in all successful candidates. The programme is self-paced and open to everyone
