Fun scheme plenty of social events but hard work
The lawyers were friendly and approachable and gave you real work to do right from the start A diverse range of activities were also arranged for vacation scheme students over the two weeks
The placement was pretty cool I hate to be sycophantic about it but you could literally make of it what you wanted If you wanted to experience the life of a trainee you could If you wanted to approach partners for research notes or other more stretchi
One of the most enjoyable vac schemes which offers a true reflection of working life in the firm
Found the placement really rewarding and intellectually challenging Work on some really exciting cases and deals as well as being able to attend some great afterwork socials to get to know those in the firm better particularly partners out of the wor
Well organised friendly firm and I got the feeling I was making a real contribution to real work
I had a great time at Jones Day its a law firm with a difference due to its nonrotational training contract and they run their vacation schemes in the same way so it is a question of knocking on doors introducing yourself to people and asking for wor
It really is what you make of it you have to be engaged and enthusiastic No one is going to hand you work on a plate you have to go out and get it for yourself
Busy but very enjoyable Especially good were the organised social events which included iceskating pub trips and football
A challenging exciting and rewarding experience The whole firm takes the vacation scheme very seriously and great care is taken when planning the scheme the social events were great and the workshops very well executed
I had a fantastic time Everything social events people work itself and atmosphere lived up to expectations The only reason Jones Day gets 9 stars instead of 10 was that it also met my expectations for high pressure and relatively long hours
A challenging placement but highly enjoyable
I was able to experience a variety of practise areas and tasks
Well structured placement with great socials Good working environment
The placement was extremely enjoyable and I was made to feel very welcome from the start Everyone at the firm came across as friendly and outgoing which really helped to make me feel comfortable and relaxed
