Overview
Insight into firm values, culture and what makes the place ‘tick’. Live work and formally assessed tasks similar to that of a trainee.
Skills
Developed research skills, interpersonal skills and analytical skills.
Business Insight
It was very informative and helped me to refine my career goals more generally. It confirmed my interest in becoming a commercial lawyer.
Culture
Incredibly welcoming. I felt like my confidence was nurtured rather than feeling like pressure was being applied. Nonetheless, there is an expectation to deliver great results and the learning curve is steep. But I think that’s the whole point!
Your Impressions
It was by far the most enjoyable vacation scheme and law firm experience I have had. The people made me feel part of the team and I think that speaks to the firm’s values. All the presentations were accessible and therefore, easy to understand and digest. This made sure the insights gained stuck!
Yes
Know how the firm is different from the others in the market. Think about the work, the practice areas and where the firm’s expertise comes from and their strategy to develop that expertise moving forward.
