Overview
The vacation scheme was very insightful in general and I had a jam packed schedule. On a regular day, as vac schemers would have overview sessions with lawyers from a range of practice areas, alongside spending time with our practice area teams. I also assisted my principal with work on live matters.
Skills
I have learnt a lot in my time at Linklaters. I developed a good understanding in Tax law, and the skills required for a career in commercial law such as good research skills, good communication, and critical thinking. The tasks I was involved in were essential in helping me develop all these skills.
Business Insight
We gained a really good insight into the business, and how an international law firm such as Linklaters operates. We also gained a really good insight into how Linklaters as a firm navigates around issues in the industry and deals with clients, which was very interesting.
Culture
The culture at Linklaters was very friendly and inclusive. Upon arrival, I immediately got a sense of the supportive culture at the firm, and was a very good experience overall.
Your Impressions
I had a lot of fun on the scheme, but I also learnt so much.
