Overview
Responsibilities during the placement included; compiling a due diligence report on a company, completing stock transfer forms, compiling a number of research documents on various subjects, (these ranged from the effects the draft housing safety bill on housebuilders, too a number of documents on PSC's and how far up the chain you go, and how they work in regards to trusts and LLPs) and drafting letters of instruction, termination and suspension. Overall I was given a lot of responsibility and able to work on live cases/transactions. I also had significant interactions with all members of the team from trainee to associate.
Skills
Yes I have learnt the importance of time management in a law firm and how important knowing how to prioritise is. Additionally, I learnt how important attention to detail is through the feedback I was given and this meant I made sure to develop new techniques for making sure my work was fully accurate.
