About You
Loved it! Probably the best vacation scheme that is offered.
You really felt like a part of each department, despite only being there for one and a half weeks per seat.
On the whole, there was lots of support. Graduate recruitment were fantastic in supporting everyone through the experience and the supervisors given were always on hand to help and answer any questions.
They give you a true insight into the legal world.
The Company
Fantastically structured. Everything was very well thought out.
Unbelievably good - above all else, everyone wanted you to have a great time.
They provided plenty of talks on all the practice areas at the firm and where the firm was going in the future.
Significantly.
It was very helpful - you got a real insight into the culture of each department.
Incredibly helpful.
Everything Else
The pay was very good on the scheme. However, if you don't live in London, it will probably just cover accommodation and living expenses.
Lots - the dinner provided with associates and partners was a real highlight of the vacation scheme for me.
Fantastic. By far the best social life of any of the vacation schemes I have experienced.
Yes
Absolutely.
