Going to different departments and helping the trainee's with their work, and learning about their department. I did things like researching statutes on the computer, emailing clients, checking through an employment tribunal report and searching through a lease. However some of the tasks I could tell were not "real" and so this detracted from the experience slightly.
Researching skills, communication and confidence through the presentation we had to do.
Loved it, it was a fantastic insight into commercial law and now I am seriously considering specialising in commercial law.
As said above some of the tasks were obviously faked and this detracted from our value as we were 'capped' in terms of our potential. Apart from this we were a member of the team with our own desk and computer. I also managed to do the starter task and actually get onto real work in some of the departments
Very strict itinerary, with set tasks and events.
As much as we asked for, which was great.
Same as above.
Very?
Yes
Yes
Fantastic practical for anybody who is curious about business studies or law.
Learn about the company, see if you connect with their core principles, if you do, everything will be very interesting and you will enjoy yourself.
