Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first few days were induction: this meant we had a collection of talks and training sessions to prepare us for the weeks ahead. We also had ice-breaker opportunities to meet and connect with our cohort.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The firm gave us a very detailed talk during the induction about the different areas of the business/roles available should we be successful in gaining a training contract. They also gave us specific talks on their main areas of practice.

The vacation scheme gave me a plethora of knowledge about how a law firm operates, what skills are needed to succeed, and where my skillset is best suited. I definitely gained a lot from the 2 weeks.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was what stood out to me the most. Commercial law firms often get a bad rep for being unapproachable and 'scary'. Clyde & Co is the complete opposite. I felt comfortable and valued 100% of the time. Really impressed.
