Days 1-5
I spent my week in the Corporate Dept at Mills & Reeve's
Cambridge office. During my week I was given a variety of tasks by
solicitors, associates and partners. These ranged from marking up
client files known as 'Bibles', reviewing contracts, helping to
draft Company Board Meetings to having to research complex legal
issues, such as the implications & interpretation of FRS 17
accounting principles for a company with a large pension deficit
wishing to pay a dividend to their shareholders!
All in all, I enjoyed my work placement and found it provided me
with a really useful insight into the inner workings of a Top 50 UK
law firm and found the variety of work in the Corporate Dept very
interesting.
