Student Review

The insight was very helpful and eye opening as it gave me a taster of the work culture and the nature of work at Mayer Brown. It was nice that we were divided into teams for a group project as it enabled me to get to know other interns and added variety to the type of tasks we were given to do.

I am very glad that the colleagues that I have met at Mayer Brown entrusted me with meaningful work. This made me feel that my work contributed to that of the firm's and it created a very good work environment.

There was sufficient guidance and support as I was assigned a trainee buddy and an associate as a supervisor. I was grateful that they made time to listen to me despite being so busy.

The work I did put my law course intro perspective and helped me see the practical side of things. It showed me which areas were more significant in the working world and has also broadened my views and considerations in different subject areas.

The insight was well structured, We were given a timetable for the week and there was hands on coordination to any changes made. It was good that we could communicate easily on the internal email system.

The general atmosphere was friendly and accommodating. I did not feel pressured but at the same time got a real feel of the work culture of the firm.

As a first year student, the firm definitely took the time to listen to our presentations despite the fact that they were simply hypothetical scenarios.

Working full days from Monday to Friday and interacting with colleagues at Mayer Brown definitely gave me a clear idea as to what work life as a lawyer in the firm would be like.

Once again interacting with trainees and associates at the firm and speaking to them during lunch breaks have all contributed to me understanding the firm's culture.

Undertaking work experience at Mayer Brown confirmed my plans to pursue a career as a solicitor.

I was reimbursed lunch expenses. It would have been helpful to be reimbursed travel expenses as well and this may been an area of feedback the firm could consider as other firms of the same prestige undertake the practice of reimbursing travel expenses as well.

Yes.

There were not many networking or social opportunities but this is understandable as it was only a week long.

Yes. It was nice to see/hear employees interacting together after work or participating in firm activities such as quizzes.

I learnt a lot and had a very enjoyable time and would definitely recommend it.
