Overview
The insight was two weeks. During this time, I attended firm presentations about the different practice areas; Capital Markets, Corporate, Litigation, Arbitration and Investigations amongst others. I also networked with staff members during coffee chats. Additionally, I had assessed tasks and tasks from my Principal, which I had to complete within strict time deadlines. I had opportunities to work on live deals, and gained a strong insight into how the firm operates.
Skills
I have learnt and developed many skills. With the assessed tasks, I gained legal research skills. In the Client Pitch exercise, I developed my public speaking abilities and gained vital experience in teamworking. I also developed skills in networking, and learnt how to engage with seniors within the firm.
Business Insight
It was very exciting to learn more about the business. I particularly enjoyed speaking to Partners within the Firm, to learn more about Linklaters' growth strategy, and how they intend on carrying it out. I also appreciated having many opportunities to learn more about the role of a trainee, and through the coffee chats I booked, I gained exposure to the different practice areas, and the responsibilities of a trainee in those departments.
Culture
The culture was very inclusive and collaborative.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed it very much.
Yes
Keep the Agile Mindset Framework at the forefront of your in mind when making an application. Ask many questions, and keep constantly engaged.
