Vacation Schemer Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the insight. It was very well organised, great fun and I learnt a lot.

Everyone I met in the firm was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout my time there. I felt very comfortable and valued.

My principal, trainee buddies and the graduate recruitment team were always on hand for support. I felt very supported and the communication lines were very open.

I received an amazing insight into life in a global commercial firm. I learnt a lot about how a deal works and the type of work that Linklaters lawyers do every day and what affects them and their clients.

Extremely well structured from the workshops to the social events. Everything was very well thought out.

The atmosphere was very pleasant, inclusive and fun.

Linklaters invested a great deal in us through providing excellent guidance and support, educational workshops and social events.

The scheme was a great insight into the firm and the type of work they do but obviously we didn't work the same sort of hours that a trainee would.

Being a part of the firm and working in different departments meant that we not only got a sense of Linklaters culture but also the culture of different departments.

The division of work between what your principal gave you and the educational workshops and the project meant that we had a wide array of tasks and insights. It made me sure I wanted a career with Linklaters.

I was paid a good amount for this experience. The only difficulty was that as someone who does not live in or near London, most of the payment went towards my rent for the month.

Yes there were lots of social events throughout the four weeks which meant that I met people from trainees to partners. There were also breakfast meetings to meet everyone in your department.

These events were very useful to get to know more people from the firm but they were also a great deal of fun. They were also very varied and we could tell that the firm put a lot of effort and thought into them.

Yes, we were told about various schemes and social groups at the firm as well as their social media displaying certain events throughout the year.

I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It was one of the most educational but equally fun experiences I've had. I met lots of great people and affirmed my career path.
