    • I found the two weeks very useful in helping me to decide Taylor Wessing was the firm I wanted to work at. Participating in the vacation scheme is important as it gives you an insight into the culture of the firm, the type of people that Taylor Wessing attracts and the work you have the opportunity to become involved in.

    • We were given insight sessions each day which introduced us to the different departments and areas of law that Taylor Wessing specialises in. This was very useful in helping me decide whether Taylor Wessing was the right firm for me.

    • I was paid.

    • Through the arranged insight sessions and lunches we had the opportunity to network with partners, associates and trainees in other departments. We were also able to network at client events.

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

    • There were two social events during the scheme. This was an important part of the scheme as we were able to spend time getting to know fellow vac schemers and trainees outside the work environment.

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

    • We were given a talk on activities and pro-bono work that we could get involved in outside work. There are plenty of things to get involved in!

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

    • I would definitely recommend this placement to a friend as I thought it was very well organised and an enjoyable two weeks!
