Vacation shemer Review

I really enjoyed being able to contribute to client work especially where there was a problem solving aspect to it. I found it exciting to have to research a relevant piece of legislation and use it in order to prove your clients case. This was even more so when it was a matter relating to everyday life for much of society, as it is easier to relate it to your own life experiences.

I felt valued whilst with the firm as team members always had time to talk to me and ask questions and any client work that I did was appreciated. I was always included in events and felt comfortable throughout.

My host and other solicitors who provided me with work always found the time to explain tasks and then also go through the work that I had done to give me feedback.

The skills that I have learnt will be applicable in my postgraduate studies and also once I commence practice. The information I have been given will assist me in my journey to become a successful solicitor and will also be helpful once I commence practice

The structure was good as I always had work to do and in such a manner that it led on to the next task. This allowed me to learn in a much more effective way and found that this provided me with the confidence to complete tasks.

The atmosphere was nice as it is an open office with a calming atmosphere. People were pleasant and made it a nice environment to be in.

In giving me practical tasks of client work I was able to get an insight into the real work of a solicitor which assists me in deciding my future career. Everyone has dedicated time to my experience and I also received some gifts. I was able to access some of the benefits of the office and also taken out to lunch. It is also a paid vacation scheme.

I was within the office environment at all times which allowed me to see how people work. I was given the opportunity to ask question and be informed about how the work is completed and the timescales. People also explained the demands of the job and that sacrifices sometimes have to be made.

Seeing the layout of the office, the benefits, how senior members encourage health and wellbeing and setting tasks based on our judgement were all great in demonstrating the cultures of the firm

Being able to get experience of a few different areas of the firms expertise it gave me an insight into what areas of law I would like to practice in.

I was paid for the week

I was taken on a lunch I was invited to events happening outside of work hours

By speaking to members of the teams and being able to talk in informal environments gave the opportunity to speak about out of work activities

Definitely! An invaluable experience which I feel is necessary for any prospective trainee
