    About You

    • I really enjoyed my two weeks at RPC. The vacation scheme was well structured and it helped provide me with the opportunity to get a much better understanding of the firm's sector strengths and ethos.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt very valued for only being a vacation scheme student. RPC even allowed us to do a presentation to Partners about an initiative that RPC is currently looking to push.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • The vacation scheme was very structured providing multiple activities each day. This insured that we got a high degree of face time with a number of RPC's lawyers allowing us to ask questions and explore the firm's sectors. Also, the fact that the trainees were so friendly meant that I felt that I had enough support throughout the scheme.
