Overview
Conducted research tasks within my team, creating advice documents for clients. Attended a client call in which I drafted an advice note and used the information taken to populate a timetable of coming deadlines. Drafted a pre-action claim letter to go out to a client and spent time getting to know the firm.
Skills
Communication - speaking to different members within the team and adapting communication style for advice documents to go out to the client. Organization skills - balanced a number of tasks for different members of the team of different priorities.
Business Insight
We received a great insight into the business, being provided with a history of the business and the development of acquisitions made by the business over the years. Received an insight into the different practice areas within which the firm operates, with each team giving a short presentation to the vacation scheme students.
Culture
The culture was great, I felt very welcome from the first day within the firm and within my specific team. Everyone was supportive with the work set if we had any questions and made it clear that they were there to answer any questions about the firm as a whole.

Yes
To go in with an open mind for any team you have been given to work within, even if you have no prior experience within the sector. To be yourself during the vacation placement so that you can truly get a feel for the firm as a whole.
