The Role
Very well organised and the work provided was of a high level.
Colleagues explained tasks well and were good at providing feedback and making you feel valued.
My supervisors were happy to answer questions and introduced me to colleagues who could provide me with work.
I was provided with a perfect amount of work to do in corporate and slightly less in banking.
I was provided with some work that was going to be sent to or would provide the basis of advice for the client as well as administrative tasks.
This placement provided me with valuable skills for a career in law.
The Company
There was a good friendly and supportive atmosphere in the office.
The organisation was excellent.
The firm invested a lot of time in skills training through activities and talks.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Unknown as of now but the recruiters give the impression that there is a good chance of obtaining a job.
The Culture
The firm organised social events and we organised our own after work drinks. These created a good social scene.
The firm paid for their events. In terms of student-organised socialising, the location is fairly expensive.
The area is full of bars and restaurants.
The firm informed us about sports clubs and organised tours of the City and the Royal Courts of Justice.
