I don’t think it would look careless at all. It would be a great thing to highlight, even if you haven’t completed the specific Forage scheme for the firm you’re applying to. Forage schemes show that you've taken the initiative to gain a deeper understanding of what working in a commercial law environment involves. Regardless of the firm, they help demonstrate your commitment to developing commercial awareness, relevant skills and insights, regardless of the firm.


What’s important is how you present your experience. When including this in your work experience section, highlight the practical skills you gained. This could be specific research you did for certain tasks, or learning how to draft certain documents, and so forth. You can also use this entry as an opportunity to briefly/succinctly discuss how such exposure has deepened your interest in a career in commercial law. Again, all of this shows you're proactive in seeking opportunities to learn and grow, which is exactly the kind of attitude firms are looking for.


Well done on completing the internship and good luck with the application!
