Diversity Access Scheme Intern Review

The day-to-day tasks varied, depending on if we were in office or on a trip to London to learn more about other areas of the law! In the office, we would report to our supervisor and gather tasks to try and help out as much as possible. On days where we were not in office, we had a range of exciting trips planned, including learning about the in-house experience at Peloton.

We were given thorough talks from a range of individuals who are at the firm - from diversity and inclusion to tech and AI. We were continually made aware of the vast array of careers available at Fieldfisher and the different sectors that may stand out to us individually.

I have learnt many skills during my time at Fieldfisher, including how the law works in an actual firm setting. The importance of communication and collaboration was especially pronounced during my time at the firm. During my time at Fieldfisher, I was successfully encouraged to focus on the power of networking which I managed to develop professionally.

Everyone was incredibly helpful at the firm. Asking questions was encouraged and arranging coffee chats proved beneficial to get to know individuals in different departments and learn about the type of work they do. The culture was very positive at the firm and the people there genuinely wanted to nurture and support those on the internship.

I thoroughly enjoyed the scheme. It was an invaluable experience to be able to intern for such a great firm! I was able to gain first-hand insights of what the firms culture was like while also experiencing an exciting area of law. It has definitely boosted my confidence in terms of working in a professional law firm and those working there made sure that we were all more than comfortable in the tasks we were assigned.
