The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed my internship. I was given great responsibility and got the chance to work with such helpful and kind colleagues.
Everyone was so helpful and really approachable. Made me feel at home straight away which is such an important thing as it can be a daunting experience!
I was given absolutely fantastic support throughout my internship from Associates right up to Partner.
I feel that for still studying at University they gave me a lot of responsibility and one member of staff commented that I was doing the work of a first or second year associate which encouraged me a lot.
The Company
Work hard, play hard atmosphere. Everyone was always up for a laugh but knew when to get down to their work.
Everything was in place for us from the first day! There was a few days that I was left with not much to do but this was because client commitments that other colleagues had.
