I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the RPC Summer Programme. The experience has given me a real insight into the working life at the firm. I have undertaken a wide variety of work from two different departments, experienced real client contact and met a genuinely interesting mix of people. RPC's graduate literature is unusually accurate. It is very easy for firms to make the claims that they do, but RPC truly is a forward-thinking and progressive law firm unlike any other that I have visited.
RPC really made it their business to make sure that we knew as much about them as possible and make it fun at the same time.
Involved in some really interesting work.
A genuinely enjoyable, informative and honest insight into the workings of this firm. I won't say into a 'law firm', because RPC is unlike almost anything I've heard about most other law firms. The progressiveness in their manifesto is real, and everywhere. The work was engaging, the scheme was well thought-out, with a business project to keep us engaged and thinking about the firm, as well as socials with trainees, other Vac schemers, and plenty of networking events. It never felt like a show was being put on for us, but like we were visiting the family for Christmas: they might put on the best spread they can, but the relationships and people were what made the scheme for me.
Good amount of work which remained diverse and, at times, intellectually challenging.
The Open Day was incredibly useful for giving me a great insight into the firm, and for establishing whether they were right for me.
The Open Day provided a useful insight to the firm as it was filled with useful activities, presentations and provided ample opportunity to talk with many different people from the firm.
It is a really challenging scheme but immensely enjoyable and rewarding.
I loved it! Rushing to court, presenting to associates, team-building, it was all excellent.
The two week scheme was testing, but a strong effort was made to ensure the candidates were provided with full programme of events and social activities, making for an enjoyable placement.
Really friendly employees and other interns.
I really enjoyed my 2 week vacation scheme at RPC, which I did not really expect.
Very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
I thoroughly enjoyed this placement and would recommend it to anyone looking to find out more about a genuinely inclusive firm that is doing very well and looks set for an exciting future.
Really great when I was busy - wish I was busy more often though.
Great mix of interesting work, friendly and engaging people and fun socials - two weeks flew by.
