Overview
Attending meetings with my principal, doing independent work (both for a project and tasks assigned in my different seats), going for coffee catch-ups with people from around the firm, listening to the various sessions provided by Graduate Recruitment.
Skills
Developed my understanding of how a city law firm operates and various aspects of commercial law, improved communication skills by speaking to a range of people at the firm and doing a client pitch exercise, enhanced my time management and organisational skills.
Business Insight
Very insightful, especially as the firm is so large and the work is complex so understanding how all the different groups support each other was extremely interesting.
Culture
Everyone was extremely friendly and supportive throughout. I felt very welcomed and like I could always ask people for advice or help.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the Vacation Scheme and the type of work I was able to do and observe. It exceeded my expectations and I would go back.
Yes
Understand what differentiates the firm from its competitors when applying and the skills and attributes they are looking for (the "agile mindset" framework). Try and understand this framework and have examples of when you have demonstrated the skills and think about why they are important to the firm.
