Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Taylor Wessing?
My experience was very positive, sitting within a team at the firm for a week with the guidance of both a supervisor and a buddy. The week was busy with lots of sessions to get involved in, work set within my practice area and team, and getting to know those working at the firm.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I enjoyed taking part in the focus sessions designed to give insight into different practice areas at the firm, as well as getting involved with the work a trainee would be set day to day. The collaborative work done with other participants on the scheme was also great to get involved in, and set a great challenge of balancing tasks throughout the week.
