Shadowing trainee solicitor working in different departments each day. Attending presentations in the morning on different aspects of law.
Developed organisational and researching skills. Given me a huge insight into applying for law and studying law in a great city! (Edinburgh)
Great working with different departments. Experienced a broad range of law. Exceeded expectations as I didn't know what to expect, would recommend it to people interested in law.
Worked in really engaging teams, feeling very welcomed by all staff. All trainees have given really useful advice and made all students feel welcome and engaged throughout the week!
Great structure to the week! Meeting the other students on Monday morning and participating in team building exercises was really useful and communication was outstanding throughout the week.
All of the trainees provided an honest insight into training as a solicitor- all trainees and staff were engaged, welcoming and offered very helpful advise.
Pinsent Mason's has been a great company, providing
The location of the two offices in Edinburgh are great- very close to the town centre (5 mins walking in heels). Visiting the Courts was great and very useful! Lovely building
There's always something going on in Edinburgh- especially towards the end of July. Went out for lunch with the other students and went to the cinema with other students! Great week
Yes
Very insightful experience to law. Would recommend to anyone considering/ perusing a career in law as lots of tips/ presentations throughout.
Take advantage of the work experience/ vacation schemes that Pinsents offers as they are very useful and can be a great stepping stone! Be enthusiastic and enjoy yourself :)
