    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • What I particularly liked about RPC’s vacation scheme was the extent to which it really allowed us to get to know the firm. In addition to the legal work we were also invited to take part in a series of organised events, including, a tour of Lloyds of London, a flight on the London Eye and an RPC Quiz. Several talks on the work of the firm were very informative and I was impressed by their Canvas Career Builder programme which demonstrated RPC’s commitment to staff training and development.
