About You
Good variety of work and flexibility regarding which practice group's work I want to attempt. The team actively sought to get me involved in work as well as other activities. Constructive feedback always provided.
Always thanked got completing a piece of work and told of how any ongoing deals or pieces of work would progress.
Guidance and support was always there if and when I wanted it. Independence and taking responsibility were encouraged for my own benefit but the help was always there when needed.
Will help me understand how academic law I am learning at uni may be of value in practice.
The Company
No timetable which at the start created uncertainty, but later the fact that the days proceeded however I chose to spend them was beneficial to myself and flexibility became better than a simple schedule to follow.
Friendly and approachable colleagues - great atmosphere and culture. Everyone seemed very genuine and made me feel part of the team.
I was given equal resources as all employees to complete any and all tasks within the practice groups.
Really good insight into full time employee life. First hand experience of tasks as well as learning from other employees about their day to day jobs.
Really good demonstration of the firms culture and formal as well as informal relationships between all employees.
Very reaffirming of career ambitions. Good first hand experience helping me confirm that the placement is what I would like to do as a career.
Everything Else
I was paid a competitive salary for my placement as well as reimbursed expenses relating to travelling to London for an induction on the first day.
Multiple opportunities during work as well as outside work hours.
Very well planned events, involving a variety of activities and a good turnout of employees to network with.
All employees keen to talk about activities that they get involved it at all times.
I would have no hesitation regarding recommending the placement to all friends.
