  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The training at the start of the summer scheme was really useful. I had no previous experience of using LexisNexis, PLC and Westlaw and so the training was really valuable.

    • The vacation scheme has provided a really valuable insight into what it would be like to be a trainee solicitor at Nabarro. I have had the opportunity to get involved with real trainee work, and have been able to attend team meetings, and really get a feel for what the trainee day-to-day looks like at Nabarro.
