About You
I really enjoyed my experience, everyone was very friendly and I think that everything I learnt I will be able to use in the future.
Ultimately I knew that I couldn't take on too much responsibility during my time here and that was reflected in the work load that I received. However the work that I did get too complete gave me a decent insight into the firm itself.
Both people in my team and in other practice areas were always willing to answer my questions. At times I didn't even realise that I was talking to a partner.
I can't be sure where I will specialise yet my familiarity with CMS systems certainly gives me an edge should I be invited to come back as a trainee.
The Company
The program was very detailed and covered a broad range of topics.
CMS has a genuine collegiate atmosphere. I couldn't have ended up at a more friendly place to begin my careers in law.
They treated us as if we were actual trainees when taking us through IT and systems trainings. Very helpful.
I honestly feel very comfortable to take on a role at the firm.
No doubt CMS ticks the boxes in terms of CSR, Diversity and Inclusion.
I've decided that I want to become a trainee at this firm
Everything Else
Didn't need travel reimbursement.
We had two or three opportunities, that was sufficient.
