Business Insight
Undertaking my Vacation Scheme at Shoosmiths has enabled me to develop my commercial awareness and many other useful transferable skills. The experience strengtened my ambition and determination to embark on a career in the legal sector.
Culture
Excellent and truly exceptional! Everyone was extremley kind, approachable and helpful. The firm does not have a hierarchical ethos and everyone is being treated on an equal basis. Great importance is placed on employee welfare. Shoosmiths has a real understanading that everyone is different and unique and each has their own individual qualities and personalities which should all be embarced and valued by the firm. Feeling valued by the firm is of critical importance to me and I genuinely hope I would be able to work for the firm in the near future.
