    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I was paid £300 a week which is more than I got at the magic circle firms I went to.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • There were multiple events throughout the time where you had the chance to meet people from all levels of the firm. It was particularly nice how much time the partners invested in us as this was something I did not see at other firms.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Very competition/sports heavy which isn't really my cup of tea but everyone still had a good time. They took us to the Ivy for our end of scheme dinner which was a nice gesture.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • The trainees especially were very helpful in telling us about this although it was nice to see that everyone including partners and associates get involved in things like 'Legally Ballroom' (Strictly Come Dancing Hogan Lovells style).

    5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Best vacation scheme I did all summer. Fantastic firm with fantastic people. I wish they got the recognition they deserve for the work that they do.
