Vacation Scheme Review

was very satisfied. Despite being exhausted from such a full load of activities I felt the energetic nature of the firm and my department encouraged me to keep trying to improve and complete more tasks. My supervisor was really kind in explaining all the tasks thoroughly and clearly to someone who has not yet studied law, and took time from her day to discuss my findings and experience at length with me and clarify anything I did not understand. This has truly confirmed to me that my legal ambitions are well placed and I might even wish to qualify into banking (although that will be some years away!).

The social events were a highlight of the week and helped you feel valued because the trainees were very welcoming. Being able to talk to them in an informal setting actually presented the firm in a fantastic light because they were so positive about their training contacts even while at the pub!

I am a non-law graduate and was worried this may leave me in deep end but in a way it worked in my favour. I was guided through everything very thoroughly and people were always ready to answer questions.

I learnt such a large amount in a small space of time. I found being asked to draft documents more formally and in the correct format particularly helpful as I haven't previously been exposed to the structure or language used.

I was very happy to receive structured tasks that became progressively more complex.

Energetic, passionate and welcoming while also being clearly a very efficient firm with lots of expertise.

It was as clear as it could have been in a short space of time.

Again, within the confines of a week it was easy to get a good impression.
