Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight was unbelievable, I had contact with trainees, associates and partners in the firm to ask questions and learn from their every day practice. I done work for the firm at mostly trainee level - though I got to sit in on client calls with partners and associates to see what their work load entails.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The career progression path was obvious within the firm, with each level being explained in its importance to us. It gave me inspiration to think about the future and plan my career.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Taylor Wessing
Just be yourself, the firm does not want overly competitive, egotistical individuals who treat their fellow Vac Schemers like competition. They want to see you working together as colleagues, as this will show you can do it in the workplace. The firm has a clear friendly culture and they want to maintain that, so be nice and be yourself
