Overview
Tasks reflecting a trainees daily activities, subject specific workshops and training, various social events, virtual coffees and meetings with people at the firm from partners to trainees to support staff, and a final interview.
Skills
I developed new research and drafting skills when completing challenging, interesting pieces of work for associates. I also developed my communication and networking skills, particularly over a remote platform.
Business Insight
Taking part in the Culture Project was a great way to learn about the business and gain an insight in to the important roles people play to make RPC a successful firm. Everyone was keen to chat and give you their personal take. The business has a shared mindset and drive to succeed in their individual roles, and as a team.
Culture
Approachable, collaborative and ambitious. Everyone has a genuine love for what they do and many enjoyed coming into work everyday thanks to the great teams they have around them. This left me with a fantastic impression of the collaborative nature of the firm.
Your Impressions
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the firm. I felt valued and welcomed by everyone. I was surprised by how happy people were to spend time chatting and giving me their personal insight into the firm and the industry. I was able to speak with people at all levels of the firm and observed a shared commitment to great client service and business culture.
Yes
