Overview
During the five-day scheme, we experienced an intensive schedule of classroom-based learning, complemented with time spent shadowing lawyers in practice areas, where we got hands-on work experience. The content included presentations on the practice areas, case studies and seminars to develop our legal knowledge and commercial awareness.
Skills

Business Insight
It was both useful and insightful to learn about the variety of different paths available to me in a law firm in the different practice areas.
Culture
Everyone was extremely welcoming in the firm. I felt that every person made an effort to make themselves known to me and made sure I was comfortable both within and outside my practice group. Everyone was warm, helpful and receptive to questions.
Your Impressions
I extremely enjoyed my time on the SPARK scheme. I would highly recommend it to any aspiring corporate solicitor with an interest in Clifford Chance.
Yes
I think it is extremely important to understand the internal operations of a corporate law firm and the role that it plays within the market. I would ensure that you also have a well-rounded commercial awareness and knowledge of the specific work of the firm.
