Overview
The scheme was split across two departments. I had an independent research task to complete for each department. I also had the opportunity to sit in on live client calls. Throughout the scheme there were various practice area presentations and talks, as well networking and social events.
Skills
I developed my skills of legal research and analysis writing two memorandums. I also learnt a lot about each practice area I was sat in through conversations with my supervisor and other members of the team.
Business Insight
The scheme improved my understanding of the role of a trainee at Latham. I also spoke to knowledge lawyers, associates, paralegals and partners, which helped me to understand more about the law firm as a business.
Culture
Very relaxed and non-hierarchical. Everyone was very friendly and approachable.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the scheme.
Yes
Do your research on the firm so that you can write a tailored application. Attend an open day. Reach out to people at the firm in practice areas you are interested in.
