Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had scheduled sessions, formal and informal networking, group work, assessed tasks, socials, pro-bono shadowing, diversity & inclusion events and independent work within the department.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
My vacation scheme at Taylor Wessing gave me insights into areas of law, such as Private Wealth, that I had not considered before. It also provided an insight into its cutting-edge sectors focus, clientele, variety of work and opportunities for innovation, client and international secondments.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I undertook a variety of tasks, which developed a range of skills. I was able to utilise my research skills, but also further developed my ability to summarise complex concepts and communicate them clearly in a way that is suitable for clients and my supervisor. The group exercise also allowed me to further learn how to work as part of a team.
