About You
It was a really enjoyable placement, although it felt as though there was quite a lot of assessments during the placement.
People made a real effort to make you feel valued.
The support from the practice group was particularly good, everyone made a real effort to check I was ok and enjoying the work I was doing.
The information provided by the various practice groups was particularly helpful, giving me a better insight into which areas of law I may want to pursue going forward.
The Company
The whole placement was very well organised.
It was a good working environment, with people willing to engage and talk, whilst being very professional.
The practice group that I was in went out of their way to find me tasks that I either hadn't done before, or that they'd learnt a lot from doing or that they thought would be helpful.
It was a very helpful insight, not just in terms of my own experience but from talking to various people from different departments.
Getting to meet people from all practice groups during the practice presentations and social events particularly helped with undertanding the company culture.
It was very helpful.
Everything Else
There was payment and reimbursement of travel expenses from the induction day for those who travelled to London from different offices.
Both through organised social events in the evenings, and office drinks/lunches, as well as the practice group presentations.
Just right. Timed well around various assessments and were enjoyable social events.
Yes, the firm ensured that we received plenty of information in this respect.
It was a very good placement.
