Overview
Each day we were set a task by associates and senior members of staff to submit each day. We also had a number of insights into different areas of law and the opportunity to meet other trainees.
Skills
I learned a great deal on the scheme and gained valuable legal experience. I was exposed to different legal technology when drafting documents. I also learned a great deal about different legal terms and documents that I had not learned about yet. Finally, I developed my communication skills during insight sessions by asking questions and working alongside other candidates.
Business Insight
It was very interesting. We got to hear about different areas of law which normally we wouldn't have had the opportunity to do. We also heard from different emloyees at the firm such as members of HR and business development.
Culture
Very friendly and supportive. People were happy to answer questions and arrange meetings with us.
Your Impressions
I very much enjoyed it. The team made a conscientious effort to give us good experience and contact with the firm despite the scheme being held virtually. The tasks were difficult if you had not done the LPC or had not been a paralegal but they provided great experience regardless.
Yes
Go in with an open mind. Ask questions and try to meet people when you can. Don't be over-faced by the tasks and ask lots of questions. Remember to be yourself!
