Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was involved in drafting chronologies, timetabling events before trials, research tasks, and billing for clients. I also attended lots of socials, including lunches, coffees, and the summer party!
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I got a holistic overview of the firm and its various departments. It was very insightful to learn what potential seats I would be able to sit in as a trainee. I also learned all about the qualification process as an NQ, and development opportunities (such as the Global Associate Program, where you can work at another global Clyde's office for a week).

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I learned lots of skills from working on tasks I had never done before. For example, there are certain formats to follow when writing memos and calculating dates prior to the trial. There were different written procedures I learned to follow.
