Vacation Schemer Review

During my time with the PRM team at Dentons MK, I gained valuable insight into how legal knowledge, research, and client-focused support contribute to the work of a large law firm. The experience involved working on a variety of tasks that supported both internal teams and client-facing activity, while developing a better understanding of how research and communication are used within a professional legal environment.
On a day-to-day basis, I carried out research reports, produced insight articles, and completed client sector research to help build understanding of different industries and market trends. I also had the opportunity to present at a bundle meeting, which helped strengthen my presentation and communication skills while giving me exposure to how information is shared and discussed within the team.
Overall, the experience provided practical exposure to research-driven work, collaboration within a professional team, and the importance of delivering clear, accurate, and commercially relevant information to support legal services.

Learning about the business and the range of roles available at Dentons MK gave me a clearer understanding of how a large law firm operates beyond legal work alone.

It was valuable to see how both legal and non-legal teams contribute to the overall success of the business, and it highlighted the importance of collaboration, communication, and specialist expertise across departments.
