Overview
Day to day I did a variety of tasks from attending training, to reading insurance policies, providing research and supporting on presentations the team were working on. I also supported on an article relating to Climate Change which was very interesting.
Skills
Yes I learnt a great deal of practical law, I was able to practice my memo drafting as well as learn more about how insurance law operates. I also learnt a great deal about how Bermuda Form works and how specific clauses impact the policy. I grappled with New York substantive law and how that is interpreted during a London seat of arbitration.
Business Insight
It was very exciting and confirmed to me that law is the career I was to pursue and that I am definitely interested in the more contentious side of the work.
Culture
The culture is very strong at Clyde & Co. There is a big focus on social impact and pro bono work as well as combating Climate Change. Furthermore there is a strong sense of comradery across the teams and the 'Work as One' value really shines through.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed participating in the Vacation Scheme, I thought it was a fantastic way to get to know the firm and understand the work that they do. I got some great experience and hope I can continue to work there in the future.
Yes
