Some firms have formal programs while others require you to have a close relationship with the relationship partner of a certain client who can put you up at the client site.

“I would like to go on secondment at ____”
Subject Expert
Just be thoughtful about it. Secondments are generally viewed favorably by partners, especially if they’re with firm clients/companies that have some relationship with the firm.

Totally randomly. I was actually a first year. The secondment involved helping a client with a repetitive task that wasn’t that complicated and that no one in our group had any experience doing. It was a part-time secondment, which many people will warn you against, but it was fantastic.
If there’s no formal program at your firm, usually you’re asked. It helps if you have done work for the client.
Partners asked me to do it

Got asked because I was the #2 associate on a client and the client had a need for someone to cover for their in house lawyer. Stepping back, i think you have to be someone seen as likeable and competent but not indispensable, which suited me fine.
