Summer Intern Review

Day to day I sit with my team and have a trainee buddy and supervisor. The team provides me with tasks and I complete these, and am able to ask them any questions and clarify things I don't understand. This includes tasks such as taking meeting notes, drafting documents, conducting legal research and so on.

We had an induction where we spent 3 days learning all about the firm, the type of work that would be expected of us, and the wider culture and values. It has been great to speak to many people during my time on the internship and people have been very open about the different roles and have given many insights about the firm.

I have been able to develop many skills.
Communication - both on a professional level such as in emails or drafting letters, as well as on a personal level by meeting many new people and having different conversations.
Team work - completed a team presentation which involved a lot of collaboration
Time management - we are given multiple tasks so the placement requires balancing these and prioritising where necessary

Great, there is a very positive culture in the Leeds office, and you can tell everyone genuinely gets on and wants to collaborate with one another. They have all been very welcoming of the interns and are open to answering any questions even when they are busy!

I really enjoyed the whole internship, being able to get involved in many tasks, meetings or even socials was really rewarding. Everyone who supervised me or gave me tasks was really open to receiving questions which meant I could really understand my work and arguably this made it even more enjoyable. We had many socials arranged for us which meant we were able to meet many people
