different work and teams. What shone through for me was how consistently friendly and approachable people at all levels of Mills & Reeve were across the board.” “I felt as though everyone I had contact with in the firm was genuinely interested in me. I was even stopped in the corridor by the senior partner at the time who asked my background and ambitions.” given the opportunity to sit in four different departments across the two-week scheme, which gave a real insight into the range of work that the firm does. The firm’s core value of outstanding client service and a friendly and welcoming environment were evident across the entire office. The programme of training and social events organised complemented the work perfectly and made for an incredibly well-balanced scheme.” “Overall I felt I was given varied and valued tasks. The culture of the firm shone through as friendly, as well as committed to good training. The partners in each of the teams had a lot of time to talk me through things and went over and above to make me feel welcome. The scheme was a very good reflection of the training contract itself and I thoroughly enjoyed it.” “Everyone was friendly and approachable and I saw that the culture of the firm really is as special and unique as I had heard.” “The vacation scheme at Mills & Reeve was brilliant. We were
side of the firm and try to enjoy the whole thing as well. Since our training contract has six seats as opposed to four – that extra bit of variety on the vacation scheme is a microcosm of the training contract in that way – you are able to garner more experience than you might at other firms. I’m midway through my third seat and there’s still the possibility of moving to another office for a seat, as well as secondment opportunities, both of which would give me more insight into the way the firm works and help me cultivate links with more colleagues and clients. I think it is a fantastic opportunity to have, particularly if you intend to stay with the firm after qualification, which I fully do.”
