Overview
There is an induction with talks and panels from different members of the firm which allow you to get to know the firm and the sectors better. On the third day you go into your seats in the area designated to you and you are set work from different people in your team. There are many opportunities to go out and network with different people around the firm as well as socials and different events.
Skills
I have developed my team working skills through working with people within my area as well as people from different sectors. I have improved my research skills, I was set a few research tasks on quite niche areas which pushed me to develop these skills. I have improved my attention to detail skills by doing some proof-reading tasks and checking the accuracy of my own work.
Business Insight
I was able to speak to arrange of people around the firm who are in different areas of law and are in differing levels of seniority. Everyone is happy to share their experiences with you and answer any questions that you may have. The role that was most focused on during the vacation scheme is the trainee positions and there is ample opportunity to speak to trainees and people from early career about this.
Culture
The culture at Clyde & Co is the best that I have experienced, everyone is extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions you may have. People in the firm go above and beyond to help you and make you feel comfortable during your time at the firm. There are also many diversity initiatives which you are able to get involved in e.g. GECCO, Pryde & Co, ACED, Enable etc.
