    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was very well structured. We had a assigned buddy who was a trainee who would show you around the office on the induction day. We were also given a program with all the activities planned for the week such as networking lunch, conferences etc.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • It was amazing! I think the atmosphere is what makes Taylor Wessing very unique. Everybody is enjoying working with each other, there is little hierarchy. A very collegiate and pleasant atmosphere to work in!

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    5/5

    • 3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • It allowed me to understand that all city law firm culture are different. Having done another vac scheme at another law firm, I can really say that the culture of the firm varies a lot from firm to firm. At Taylor Wessing, the culture was very easy to fit in and I think that is what makes me enjoyed my time there so much.
