Written 3rd April 2025 by Olliers Solicitors
Olliers Solicitors are delighted to announce that we are holding a ‘Meet and Greet’ event for both undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing a career in criminal defence.
The event will take place on Tuesday 29th April 2025 at Olliers Solicitors at Fourth Floor, 44 Peter Street, Manchester, M2 5GP. The event will commence at 17.30 and conclude at 19.00. The event is designed to be an informal evening where students who are interested in working within the criminal defence field can meet members of Olliers including paralegals, trainee solicitors and more senior lawyers to chat on a 1:1 basis with our team to find out more about the reality of life within a criminal defence firm.
Unfortunately, we are only able to accommodate current undergraduate students or graduates.
The event comes as we have just launched our Summer 2025 Intern Scheme. Olliers holds an annual Summer Internship Programme where we offer weeklong paid internships at our Manchester City Centre Office to both graduate and undergraduate students who are interested in a career in criminal defence.
