    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • From assessment day to final interview, the placement had everything I wanted and more.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • My department at the firm were incredibly welcoming and immediately respected me as a member of their team - not like a student.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Throughout the entire scheme I was given advice on completing tasks and assistance when things didn't go to plan. All the information I needed was just a question away.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Having a professional perspective to assist my studies will definitely help me understand the law from a broader perspective - it's not all just books and exams!

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Perfectly structured. The only negative would be that I was moved from room to room on a number of occasions. On the plus side, this did enable me to get to know lots of different people.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • My time in the office and the social events in the evening made the experience very fun. Nabarro are very good at letting you relax after a hard day at work - just the way it should be!

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The three weeks was packed full of opportunities to express my ability, meaning that Nabarro made a real effort to let me grow as a professional and person.

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • My workload was very heavy and I made sure to volunteer for every opportunity out there. This was a good thing, as it enabled me to get an idea of what life as a trainee would be like.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Nabarro is very close-knit - I don't think there's another firm like it.

    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?
  • Very adequate - potentially slightly on the low side for those finding alternative accommodation (I stayed in a rented flat).


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Almost every day. This enabled me to meet people from all around the firm and also get closer to my fellow vacation schemers.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Fantastic. A wide range of activities participated in my all members of the firm, regardless of seniority.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I was presented to on Nabarro in the Community and a variety of additional services that Nabarro provide, namely giving employees one day per year to give back to the community.

    5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • 100%.
