Overview
The first two days consisted of attending the induction at the office. We were trained for the scheme and were able to participate in panels with various departments of the firm. Afterwards, I sat with my supervisor and trainee buddy. I was given classic trainee tasks such as drafting an attendance note or research tasks.
Skills
I learned how to draft an attendance notes, research memos and how to read technical reports. I learned more about the insurance sector and the type of work undertaken by insurance lawyers. I also built my Excel proficiency.
Business Insight
I found the work really interesting and I was able to build my understanding gradually with the aid of my supervisor. My supervisor ensured that I had a solid foundation for the more technical elements. Being exposed to the daily work of the lawyers in my team was really valuable for gaining an better understanding of the daily tasks of commercial lawyers.
Culture
Everyone was extremely helpful and supportive. Everyone in my team was willing to support my learning during the scheme. Partners were very approachable and friendly, they were always willing to have a chat over coffee and answer my questions. I was able to as the Legal Director on my team for a coffee and receive a task from him. Everyone seemed genuinely interested in hearing about things from my perspective as well.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the insight. I found the work and the induction very engaging. I also enjoyed the social opportunities that we were given such as being invited to firm socials and the vacation scheme student social. I really enjoyed networking.
Yes
I would encourage them to consider the global reach of Clyde & Co as it is an integral part of their business. It is important to tailor their responses for the type of work Clyde & Co does.
