Thursfields' trainee solicitor, Kimberley Wadham-Smith, has volunteered to mentor a student at the College of Law with advice on a career as a solicitor through the college’s mentoring scheme.
The mentoring scheme is organised by the College of Law and pairs up trainees and qualified solicitors with students. Ms Wadham-Smith will be advising her student on CVs, application strategy and interview preparation, among other issues.
She took part in the scheme when she was a student at the college and felt she would like to give something back to the scheme, with the support of her firm.
“I felt the scheme was invaluable to me when I was a student and actually helped me to obtain my training contract,” she said.
“It is a great opportunity now for me to support a student to achieve their career objectives too.” Ms Wadham-Smith has had experience of commercial property, litigation and probate at Thursfields, working in both of Thursfields’ Kidderminster and Worcester offices.
