Overview
Attended department talks, Q&A sessions, and training. Worked on set written task when there was time in between and experienced two different practice areas. Did a lot of socialising with people across different seniority levels to learn more about the firm.
Skills
I definitely developed legal research skills through the written tasks we got set. Also I improved my understanding of what working in a corporate environment is like.
Business Insight
There were sessions dedicated to understanding the role and future roles available. Current trainees also provided a lot of insight which was great.
Culture
It was incredibly friendly, everyone was very approachable at all levels. I enjoyed that people still took the work very seriously, but didn’t take themselves too seriously. I felt comfortable asking questions and chatting to people in general.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the insight to a large extent as it gave a unique view into the day to day of the role and how the law firm worked as a business.
Yes
Definitely understand the firm’s place in the market, why you want to work at a firm like this, how it’s different from other firms.
