[QUOTE="Donuttime, post: 240772, member: 12637"] Hmm thats always something that trips me up. i always thought it worked like this: Jane is a new trainee and is about to join her first department. Firm X have put her with the Intellectual property team. janes supervisor Walter has a niche in Life sciences so in her first week, Jane gets involved with a lot of life-sciences IP related work. An associate in the team Jesse works in the Consumer brands sector so in her second week Jane receives a lot of IP consumer brands contract work. In her third week, Associate Skyler gives Jane work from her clients in the Food and beverages industry. By the end of her six months, Jane has worked across life-sciences, consumer brands and the Food and beverage sectors and she feels like she has learnt a lot about her firms key sectors. Six months later, Jane joins the banking and Finance sector with an opportunity to work with all these sectors again! Always thought thats how it worked? would love any further insights. Also!! I know some firms have specific sector based seats tho like a trainee would sit in "Construction" always saw that as more of a sector than a specific practice area but maybe cause they get a bulk of their work they would cover a wide variety?? like construction disputes, construction advisory, construction compliance ( if thats a thing) anyway further insights appreciated!!!
