Vacation Scheme Intern Review

Worked with in real teams in the firm, supporting them on active deals and cases. Attended meetings and court alongside qualified lawyers. Worked on new things everyday, learning quickly and working hard. Very social, chatting to the team, trainees, paralegals, partners, other interns. Very social firm as a whole with a great culture.

Exciting to get a taste of being in the firm. They are very transparent about the process and how much space is available. Feels very supportive within the firm that it isn't a competition, and they want us all to do well. Seeing different parts of the business was interesting as it shows how massive a company it is.

Learned professional application of my writing skills, how to write official court documents and emails. Improved accuracy of note taking, working under speed, quick information retention, professionalism. The firm doesn't coddle you, they help but also leave you to your devices.

Incredibly friendly place. Open plan office allows everyone to chat and laugh together. Often team nights out/lunches/fun days planned. Everyone is welcoming and down to earth and no one is too scary!

Best scheme i have personally ever attended. The welcoming culture alongside the interesting and challenging work creates a perfect balance.

Yes

They value your personality almost more than your grades! Let who you are show through, chat and laugh and talk about your hobbies. They don't want stuffy business professionals, they want someone hardworking who will also go to the pub after work.
