I really enjoyed my placement. I particularly liked the fact that you stayed in one department for 3 weeks. This gave me a great chance to get to know the team and get involved in some large scale matters.

I carried out work for a large number of people who always thanked me for the work. I really got the impression that the work I was completeing was valuable to the progression of the matter.

My supervisor checked how everything was going pretty much everyday! I received a lot of feedback throughout the placement so I knew what aspects of my work I could improve on. At the end of the scheme we had a more detailed feedback session which gave me a good overview of what everyone in the team thought of my work.

I found the workload very varied but I think this reflects the fact that the team is generally a lot quieter in the summer. There were a lot of people on holiday when I was in the department so there perhaps weren't as many people around for me to get work off. That said, the work I did get was challenging and interesting so I could really get my claws into it.

Obviously as an intern everything you do is double checked by your supervisor, however I felt I was given a certian degree of responsibility. The research I carried out was directly used making it really important that I referenced everything properly and ensured there were no gaps. Furthermore, I had the chance to check through completion documents to ensure they were signed properly. This felt like a lot of responsibility as if I was missed anything the completion could not go ahead!

I was initially concerned before starting the placement that I would struggle considering my non-law background. However, in reality it really didn't matter at all. The most important thing I learnt was how to go about legal research and I think this will be very helpful when I progress to my GDL.

The atmosphere in the office definitely lived up to all the Nabarro hype! I was immediately welcomed into the group and included on all team social events throughout my three weeks. Everybody was interested in giving me some work so I was able to meet and chat to everyone in the nearby area!

The palcement was incredibly well organised. Unlike a lot of schemes all the information was sent out in the post about 2 weeks before the placement actually started. This was fantastic as it meant I could actually plan my three weeks rather than just waiting until the first day to discover that you have a drinks evening that night. I also found out the department I was going to be working in the week before I started and the name of my supervisor. This was so helpful as I could do some research before I started. When we arrived we had about 2 full days of induction. This was great because we really got to know our colleagues on the scheme and were able to get to grips with the IT systems before thrown into the office environment. Throughout the placement I was impressed by the level of thought that had gone into the scheme!

We had extensive knowledge centre training in the first two days. What differed at Nabarro was the huge amount of training we received in using Westlaw, Lexis and PLC. This was so useful as these sites are the one thing that Vac Schemers will probably use the most throughout their placement.

I think Nabarro would be a great firm to work at and all but one fo the current trainees are staying on!

As a group of Vac Schemers we all got along really well. There was a constant email thread throughout the scheme organising ad hoc lunches, drinks and dinners!

Being in Bloomsbury, the cost of food and drinks in pubs etc is quite high. The subsidised canteen meant buying lunch was a lot cheaper!

There was a huge selection of pubs around Lambs Conduit st!

There were a number of sports fixtures arranged outside of work that we were all welcome to get involved in. We also had a series of breakfast meetings where we had a chance to meet and chat to members of the firm who we may not otherwise come across.
