Build your commercial awareness skills in a legal setting with Womble Bond Dickinson.

Welcome to the Womble Bond Dickinson Law programme – we are so excited to have you here! 

WBD provides the breadth of legal experience and services to meet our clients’ needs without losing the intimacy of being connected to our different communities. These strong local and regional ties enable us to remain close to our clients and the issues they care about.

With teams located across the US and the UK, and networks and relationships around the world, WBD brings an international perspective and extended jurisdictional reach to a wide range of client needs — a powerful combination that presents a compelling alternative to other firms.

In this programme, you’ll research and explore different roles available in law and learn how to craft a personal statement. Then, you’ll amend a commercial contract and prepare a business development pitch to gain an idea of the work that our lawyers encounter daily. 

We hope this programme helps upskill you in law and explore a potential career with us at WBD.
