Firms among best work experience providers
updated on 14 February 2013
Several firms have been shortlisted for honours at the National Council for Work Experience (NCWE) Awards 2013, now in their 10th year.
The awards encourage and reward those UK employers that provide outstanding internship and work experience opportunities to students and graduates. The law firms that have made the cut and are in contention for an award include:
- Stephenson Harwood for 'Best Employment Experience as Nominated by a Careers Adviser';
- Nabarro LLP, Bircham Dyson Bell, Pinsent Masons, Baker & McKenzie, Simmons & Simmons and Shearman & Sterling (London) LLP for 'Best Law Firm'; and
- Shearman & Sterling for 'Best Newcomer'.
Jane Drew, trainee resources manager at Nabarro LLP, says: "Last year we won the title of Best Law Firm, so we're delighted to have been shortlisted in the same category for the second year running. Our scheme has been running for more than 15 years and we take around 60 students annually so being recognised in this way is hugely important to us."
The full NCWE Awards shortlist is available online. The winners will be announced on Tuesday 19 March at Merchant Taylors' Hall in London.
