Overview
Each day we attended insight sessions into Stephenson Harwood’s practice groups. Those presenting were passionate and very happy to answer questions. Throughout the week we completed tasks set by different departments. This included research tasks and creating a presentation. Mid week we completed an assessment centre and there were evening socials. This gave us a chance to meet some trainees and ask questions
Skills
This week has developed my commercial awareness and allowed me to practice my research and drafting skills. It also developed my presentation and public speaking skills. I think this week was more focused on building knowledge rather than building skills.
Business Insight
I learnt about the flexibility within the firm and their culture of not forcing specialisms early on in your career
Culture
Such a positive, passionate group of people. Their creative mentality was evident throughout the week. It would be lovely to work in such an environment.
Your Impressions
It was really enjoyable. I learnt so much more than I thought I would, particularly about some of the practice groups. The week has opened my eyes to seat options I hadn’t previously considered.
Yes
Just be yourself. They seem to be looking for people who are a good fit with the culture of the firm and the personalities that it encompasses.
