Overview
I was involved with the team in Finance and Litigation to undergo research and drafting for clients.
Skills
I have improved my time management and communications skills.
Business Insight
It was great to see the breath of legal issues there are, as well as the niche sectors some lawyers are a part of. The lawyers are enthusiastic about their work and being able to pursue specific interests within the profession.
Culture
The culture is very inclusive and everyone is very friendly and approachable, and the partners made effort to give us their time to chat about their careers and the work they enjoy doing.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the London induction, getting to meet all the other interns and hear from very important people in the firm. I enjoyed the office experience in Edinburgh and it was great to be able to experience 2 practice groups to get a better feel for the culture of the firm as a whole.
Yes
Be yourself throughout the application process - they value authenticity and they make a lot of effort to be as inclusive as they can.
