About You
I very much enjoyed my time at Norton Rose Fulbright. They truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed to the firm and a part of the team!
I believe I was spoken to and treated as a Trainee - my supervisor and team valued my opinions and gave me opportunities to contribute to real client work.
The Graduate Recruitment team were very helpful as to what to expect during the vacation scheme, and my supervisor and team were always ready to answer my questions (especially when I found myself lost regarding a certain piece of law) and give me feedback when needed!
As I am currently reading for my LLM, this vacation scheme allowed me to see the practical aspects of transactional work and therefore complements my studies quite nicely!
The Company
Everyone was very supportive and friendly. Having also attended firm events like team lunches and drinks receptions it was great to see the human side to the busy City lawyer life! All my peers on the vacation scheme were driven and encouraging of eachother! It was truly a great experience.
As a vacation scheme student training was very much ad hoc on the job, though I was able to attend a Team training session in a department other than the one I was seated in.
Everything Else
There were loads of events organised where I was fortunate to network with trainees of the firm over drinks, lunches and dinner.
