Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
5/5
We completed various independent and teams-based tasks, giving us an insight into the legal profession.
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
5/5
I really enjoyed my work experience. We got an in-person insight day which I thought was really interesting, as we got a tour of the office and got to see how a day in the life of a solicitor would go.
How well organised was your work experience?
5/5
The work experience was very well organised. Apart from the slight complications that comes with teams, all of our sessions with various employees from Pinsent Masons were on time, and offered lots of variety.
How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
1/5
I was already set on law as my career path, but this work experience has really helped to solidify my decision.
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
1/5
We were not paid for the work experience, as it was just a taster session for us students of what law would be like in the workplace and also at university.
Skills Development
What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
5/5
I developed my team building skills, communication skills, and also learnt how legal documents work such as leases and contracts.
Company Culture
How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?
5/5
We learnt a lot about the company culture. We took part in talks to do with Responsible Business and what that was like in the firm, and trainee solicitors ran through their daily routines to show us what it would be like to work at Pinsent Masons.
Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
5/5
Yes, there was networking lunches where us students could speak to each other and also at the insight day we had lunch with trainee solicitors, allowing us to speak to them.
