Overview
Most of the day was spent working on trainee tasks (such as research and proofreading) in my allocated department, Restructuring & Insolvency. The rest of my time was taken up by introductory talks to different practice areas within the firm.
Skills
I have developed several skills. I learnt how to conduct and present legal research when completing research tasks and writing memos for my principal. I honed my team and presentation skills in a day-long client pitch workshop. I also developed my networking skills by reaching out to different lawyers within the firm and arranging to meet the over coffee.
Business Insight
It was very insightful, informative and rewarding. I have a far more thorough understanding of the firm and of the legal industry than I did before the vacation scheme.
Culture
Extremely friendly and welcoming. I was very much included at all times throughout the three weeks.
Your Impressions

Make sure to understand the firm thoroughly, its place in the market, and the application process.
