Overview
The insight involved sitting in two practice areas and engaging in a variety of tasks. This enabled me to get a good understanding of the trainee role and the life of a solicitor. Sessions were held throughout the scheme that provided a good insight into each practice area and Stephenson Harwood. These sessions were a great opportunity to ask questions and to develop an understanding of the firm.
Skills
I have learned and developed teamwork, negotiation, and presentation skills. Working in the practice areas enabled me to develop skills including organisation, research, communication, and legal analysis. My attention to detail was also developed by engaging in tasks. The sessions that were organised also developed my innovative thinking and understanding of how a law firm operates.
