Fieldfisher First Steps Programme Attendee Review

Day 1 - I was able to hear from a wide number of representatives, including trainees and those working in non-legal capacities, who spoke informatively about who Fieldfisher as a firm are and what they stand for. I then attended a social at a nearby restaurant, which was also informative due to the presence of trainees.
Day 2 - This day focused more on Fieldfisher’s legal practice areas, hearing from senior solicitors in Corporate and DR among others. These individuals provided a comprehensive overview of the firm and were happy
to provide great insights and responses to our question. The pitch was also a great exercise to provide a brief insight into what sort of activities those attending assessment centres would carry out.

It was greatly informative to hear from Fieldfisher’s graduate recruitment team to understand what positions are available and the application processes involved

Thanks to the many talks and presentations hosted by the firm, I think I have developed and learnt numerous skills. For example, listening to the responses provided by trainees, who themselves had undergone the application process, was of great value in understanding how Fieldfisher’s application processes worked and how they have found training at the firm. Additionally, the talks hosted by senior figures at the firm have enabled me to understand how the firm works and what skills they believe are required for success

I believe that there was a genuine degree of openness and collegiality within the firm, judging from the experiences of trainees and several senior solicitors deciding to move to the firm and stay because of the people

I throughly enjoyed it, it was well-structured, the sessions generally flowed quite seamlessly (bar the occasional tech hiccup), and it was managed and hosted adeptly by Sarah, Victoria, and Eve. They certainly comported themselves with a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. Likewise, the other attendees that I spoke to in private mentioned similar things, so it was clearly a well-received event by all.
