Overview
Day to day involved tasks that would typically be set to a trainee, such as preparing a research document, or assisting with bundling for example. We also attended many talks throughout the week, such as talks on specific practice areas, or on legal tech for example.
Skills
I have developed my research skills and ability to view large amounts of complex data and identify the key parts specific to that matter.
Business Insight
The firm put a lot into learning about the business environment and other roles within the firm (not just lawyers). We had talks from lots of other areas of the firm such as Diversity and Inclusion, as well as legal information services. This enabled our greater understanding of how the firm operates and makes business.
Culture
Everyone at the firm were incredibly helpful and friendly. You didn’t feel embarrassed to ask questions and they made you feel very comfortable from the get go! I also really appreciate that the firm’s culture is very respectful of peoples’ lives outside of work, especially for those that have children.
Your Impressions
I absolutely loved it. Throughout the whole two weeks I thoroughly enjoyed my time.
Yes
Be yourself and throw yourself at any opportunity that might come your way!
