Trainee Review

I was working in a law firm to as an assistant which involved meeting clients and drafting letters.

Yes. I learnt how to initially speak with clients and draft basic letters and legal documents.

U enjoyed it very much. I gained a lot of basic knowledge of the law from it.

I felt valued by the programme and was given a lot of training at the beginning.

It wasn't organised or structured but it was still very valuable and worthwhile.

I received a huge amount of support from a small team of qualified solicitors.

I received a huge amount of support from my boss who encouraged me during the experience.

It was not great but it was worth while as I was gaining invaluable experience.

No. There was not much socialable activities or other work related experience outside of the role.
