LPC student Review

It was a fantastic opportunity to gain a firsthand insight into life at Walker Morris and experience the culture of the firm as well as speak to the trainees. The work I was given in my department was useful and challenging and has given me a better appreciation of the type of work Walker Morris carries out for its clients.

I was made to feel very welcome in the firm and given good feedback on my work which was useful for the future.

The trainee buddy and supervisor were really helpful and were happy to answer any questions I had and to give me guidance about how to use the online systems. We had an initial talk from the IT department and from the Librarian which was handy. I used the Library twice during the week for research and the librarians were very supportive and willing to offer help.

Having completed the LPC, it was a great opportunity to put into practice all the skills I had learnt on the course as well as gaining some new ones in the process. I was given some research tasks into quite specific areas of Property Law which has expanded my legal knowledge of this area.

Very well structured and organised. We were each assigned a trainee budy and supervisor and given a detailed timetable for the week which included time in the departments, assessments and socials!

It is true what they say about Walker Morris- everybody is very friendly and approachable even the Partners who were willing to put time aside to speak to me about the firm.

Yes they invested quite a lot. I was gievn feedback on most of my work.

It gave me an excellent understanding of the work a trainee undertakes and their role within the firm.

It was definitely beneficial to experience life at the firm and the friendly, approachable culture and the quality of work that is produced.

The one week Vacation Scheme has cemented for me that I would like to apply for a Training Contract at Walker Morris

I was paid for the one week's work.

We had a couple of social events where we met most of the trainees and were able to speak to them about their path to Walker Morris and how they were finding the Training Contract.

There was a pub quiz and drinks one evening after the first assessment which was great fun. There were also two other drinks evenings.

Yes we were given several talks by the trainees and this included a talk about the Charity Committee and Social Committee, both of which sounded very interesting.

Definitely- especially if you intend to apply for a Training Contract
