Great people, friendly open plan office and an exciting, ambitious place to work.
A lot!!! RPC puts a lot of emphasis on the branding aspect - unlike most political parties, RPC actually stick to the rip up the rule book manifesto. This results in a really collaborative feel with the whole firm, it isn't intimidating to talk to anyone...
Very much - it was good fun and informative. A good way of gaining an insight into the culture of the firm
Enjoyable but the departments were occasionally quiet due to time of year (summer is traditionally not that busy for most firms) so was slow at times.
Great placement to understand the culture of the firm and how it operates.
The scheme was really enjoyable and fun. There were a lot of activities ranging from socials to presentations to help you get a better grasp of what the firm is all about. The scheme was relaxed in order for you to be yourself and not feel too under press...
I really enjoyed my two weeks at RPC. The vacation scheme was well structured and it helped provide me with the opportunity to get a much better understanding of the firm's sector strengths and ethos.
Very much so. Both the work and the activities were interesting and informative. In the office, not only the trainees but all the lawyers speak to you and explain to you what they're doing. As for the activities, the trainees who accompany you are intere...
I really enjoyed my placement, by the end of the two weeks at RPC I felt like I'd worked there for ever, which is not in any way a bad thing! There was a wide range of activities and experiences for the vacation scheme students, exposing us to all levels...
It was a really good experience. Our activities ranged from doing real work on the departments floors to networking with members of the firm. We were kept busy, balancing work with socials, but still had plenty of time to find out more about the firm.
I really enjoyed my time at RPC. The main positive was how welcoming everybody at the firm was - at times I actually did forget that I was a summer student at the firm, rather than a full time employee! I think this says more about the type of person R...
Fantastic. It was an extremely useful and hands on insight into what an assessment day would really be like.
The open day was really enjoyable. Everyone was very approachable and willing to take the time to talk about their experiences of working at RPC and also seemed to be genuinely interested in what I had to say.
The insight at RPC was extremely well organised, informative and enjoyable. I was able to talk with employees at the firm from a range of different departments who were at a numerous different stages in their law career, from trainees through to partners....
I had a fantastic time during my two week summer scheme at RPC.
The whole placement was very well thought out with the students in mind. Pre and post communication was also very well conducted and I didn't feel anxious to get in contact if I had clashes with the schedule (eg. rescheduling the interview). Certainly a u...
I can honestly say that I enjoyed every aspect of the scheme. It was an extremely beneficial experience for me both in terms of finding out more about a career as a solicitor and about whether RPC is a firm that I would enjoy working for. I spent the f...
A very good insight into how the firm functions on a day-to-day basis.
