DLA Piper

We worked in two different practice groups across the three weeks. I worked in Litigation and Regulation, along with Restructuring. The tasks were a mix of live work and work that had been prepared for interns. The variety of work was good. Some of the ta...

I was given tasks that would be given to a trainee solicitor (inc. drafting, proofreading, sending emails, etc). This was my first vacation scheme and I felt very supported and integrated into the firm. There were daily check-ins, I had a trainee buddy in...

On a day to day basis, we were set work by people in our teams and our supervisors.

From Day 1, it involved working on live cases with associates and senior associates. This could be draft summary reports on leases, draft due diligence/search check reports on property and contracts, large research tasks on new legislation or future gover...

Overall, the insight largely consisted of completing trainee-level legal tasks and supporting fee-earners with their work. Typically, this involved research, proofreading and general legal drafting.

We were given many trainee tasks throughout the internship, attended networking events and client meetings, as well had individual meetings with various members of each placement we were in.

We basically got to experience the life of a trainee, completing tasks similar to what you would do during a traineeship. Every day was different with a large variety of tasks. The days also depended on what team you were sitting with as the work differs...

A normal day-to-day involves reviewing, drafting, and proofreading documents; attending client calls etc.

Provided me with an exposure to the international work that DLA Piper advises on. Managed to draft memos, write articles, bundle documents, undertake research tasks.

Liaising with the team. Collaborating on complex tasks. Conducting research on various practice areas and applying them to real life issues. The level of responsibility varies.

On a day to day basis, I completed legal research tasks, worked on contracts and created draft answers to client questions. Additionally, I networked with fee-earners across my two seats, and additional practice areas.

We are placed in departments and work alongside fee-earners to carry out a variety of tasks. We are assigned tasks from the department such as drafting documents, summarising documents or proofreading tasks. We are welcomed to ask further questions regard...

Day-to-day I have been involved in some active and some closed tasks. This involved things such as drafting, research and contract summaries. I also spent a lot of time over the first week preparing for the presentations.

Day to day I sit with my team and have a trainee buddy and supervisor. The team provides me with tasks and I complete these, and am able to ask them any questions and clarify things I don't understand. This includes tasks such as taking meeting notes, dra...
