[QUOTE="T202, post: 40726, member: 1909"] - check your schedule to see if there are other urgent tasks at hand, if not, notify other partners or people who have given tasks to you quickly that you have been pulled to assist this urgent matter and will try your best or just make sure that all the other tasks will not be hindered due to this or at least will mitigate the impact. - dig out previous summary notes that was done by the parter to grasp his style, structure, tone, content, format (and many more other stuff that you can get from reading a couple of those), then try to micmic that and make sure that you set out extra time to proof read your work so that it is client-ready when you later ask either another associate or the partner to review it. - use the library, knowledge lawyer, legal support lawyer, and both physical and electronic resources available at the firm and apply a logical and methodical approach to the client's query (aka the research task). - State that you would give it a go independently and see how much you can do first because having real responsibility is really cool and that's what you want in your training contract. - Ask other trainees / associations to have a look at your final product as you said. - State that you appreciate the possibility of staying late but also understand that your primary obligation as a trainee is to demonstrate good teamwork and if it's urgent you are more than happy to give a helping hand because team effort is important to you. Just some thoughts. Hope that helps. Don't phrase it the way I did please haha. [/QUOTE]
