Watson Farley & Williams Shipping Finance Law Virtual Work Experience

This self-paced Forage job simulation gives you an introduction to shipping finance law at Watson Farley & Williams LLP. You step into the role of a trainee in the firm’s Shipping Finance team and work on a realistic client matter involving a multi-jurisdictional shipping finance transaction for a major bank and shipping company.

The simulation focuses on practical legal work, including company due diligence, legal research, contract review and legal drafting. You are asked to prepare a detailed company summary report and draft a manager’s undertaking to help protect the lender’s interests in the transaction.

The tasks are designed to mirror the kind of work trainees and apprentice solicitors might do in a commercial law practice.

The programme is risk-free, fully online and self-paced, and takes around 2-3 hours to complete. It includes pre-recorded guidance, example answers and a certificate, making it useful for building confidence, strengthening your CV and exploring a career in law.
