I really liked the people that worked in Simmons & Simmons. Although they try to avoid the word 'nice' they are genuinely easy to get along with and positive people. The type of work was also interesting, particularly in the banking seat where the depart...
It was a very interesting experience with a lot of real life tasks given to me. I have given it a high rating due to the fact that I have been given a mixture of tasks which helped to widen my experience, and I felt I was treated respectfully by everyone ...
I really enjoyed the vacation scheme and was amazed by how much I learnt and developed during the two weeks. There are also plenty of social events on the scheme, including being taken to have champagne on the London Eye, making it extremely enjoyable.
The employees were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and always willing to stop and chat. I also got a chance to experience two departments with good quality of work in each. There was also a good balance of work in the day and social activities in the e...

I thoroughly enjoyed the insight programme. It offered me the opportunity to spend some time in a department where the work was really interesting. It also offered a great opportunity to get my first piece of legal work experience.
I personally had an incredible week at the firm. In addition to the wonderful support structure in place [Grad Rec / secretarial staff], I was given a consistent level of quality work during my seat. The one thing that made the experience particularly enj...
I really enjoyed the insight - for a week long placement there was very little that could have been improved upon. There was a good balance of relevant sessions organised by the scheme and time spent in your department doing real work
