Overview
The Vacation Scheme began with a day of talks with Graduate Recruitment, we then spent some time with our departments to get to know the practice area. Typical tasks for the week included research tasks, commercial drafting and reviewing contracts for errors. The scheme included multiple talks with networks within the firm, such as their diversity network ACED. The week finished with an interview with a partner and legal director.
Skills
I have developed my networking skills during the two weeks at Clyde & Co by speaking with various lawyers. I have also developed my research and commercial thinking skills through the work completed.
Business Insight
There was plenty opportunity to learn about the different seats you can choose from at trainee level. In addition, we learnt about the Associate position which you apply to at the end of the training contract. This will be the seat you want to qualify into.
Culture
Despite there not being as many people in the office following on from COVID-19 and the introduction of hybrid working, there was a friendly atmosphere around the firm. Everyone I had spoken to were willing to spend time giving advice.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the Vacation Scheme, it exceeded my expectations and the quality of work/teams make it a desirable place to work.
Yes
Research the firm and its key sectors and understand the importance of working for a truly international firm.
