    • Having completed multiple vacation schemes at London law firms this summer, I can't rate Taylor Wessing's scheme highly enough. This was by far the best placement of all!

    5/5

    • Was involved in genuine day-to-day tasks within the firm, rather than being fobbed of with meaningless tasks.

    • Well supported throughout by a range of supervisors and grad recruitment.

    5/5

    5/5

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • 5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • Fair renumeration for the placement, but we did work long hours!

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • 5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Brilliant and varied socials, trainees were most accommodating.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • 5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Without a doubt I would recommend Taylor Wessing to anyone considering a career in commercial law. Ed O'Brien (in lieu of a grad recruitment officer) has to be handed the bulk of the congratulations for the fortnight.
