Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was given a variety of tasks, including but not limited to report writing, companies house search, draw the differences between the search result and statutory books that companies keep on their own.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I gained insight into the business world and this helped me to better understand what is required from me as a trainee solicitor. During the training sessions I learnt how each department work together to assist clients. In a commercial setting, the role of trainee solicitor would go beyond just producing quality work but also maintaining strong connection with colleagues to fully explore the opportunities that are open to clients.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I learnt to better communicate with my team to enhance work efficiency. I also hone my existing skills such as attention to detail and time management to complete each and every task I was given. For instance being detailed oriented helped me when reviewing companies articles and making sure the numbering was accurate and there were no spelling errors.

People at Gateley are truly inclusive. Actions speak louder than words, and this is shown by the effort and commitment of the DEA team in designing programs to improve diversity and inclusion.
