[QUOTE="Rayhaan V, post: 81, member: 19"] Hi Coralin, thanks for getting in touch. I'm currently in the Technology Transactions Group, and our remit is pretty broad. In London, a lot of what we do is help clients navigate regulation to make sure they aren't falling foul of the law. We might draft their website/app terms and conditions, or privacy policies, for example. We also do a lot of commercial contracts work, and things like IP licensing agreements. The worst thing about the job... that's a tough one, and is also completely personal depending on your own personality. Personally, I find it hard to gauge the landscape of personalities at a firm (or working environment). It's really easy to feel a bit nervous about coming across annoying, or bothersome to other associates or partners, particularly at first! Part of working in an office involves being able to read when people are too busy to chat etc. The reality of course is that they're just normal people that are happy to help and talk for the most part, but it can be hard to realise that when you're new and everything seems a bit intense. In terms of what I find hard now, I suppose it can be quite unpredictable in terms of when you're gong to be busy, which makes planning things a bit tricky (but weirdly that's a minor gripe that you sort of adjust to quite quickly). Yes, I have done vacation schemes elsewhere, I think they can be really important. So much of whether you enjoy a job depends on your working environment, and a vac scheme gives you the chance to see at least a glimpse of a firm's culture to see if you'd fit in and whether you like the people you might be working with for however many years...
