The Role
I really enjoyed my placement.
I was able to work on live matters.
I learnt about the role of a trainee within the firm and I was able to develop various skills, which will be beneficial in the future.
The Company
Everyone was very friendly and there was a good atmosphere in my department.
The scheme was very well organised and we were given the placement timetable before we started at the firm.
I was able to go to a client presentation and a team meeting. I also met with various members of the department, who told me about the work they do and answered any questions I had.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
It is competitive, but I would very much like to secure a training contract with Pinsent Masons.
The Culture
The vacation scheme students got on very well and we met for lunch every day.
