Hi guys! I’ve been lucky enough to secure a summer vacation scheme this cycle. I’m quite new to the UK, and while I’ve done commercial law internships back in my home country, I have very little idea about how vacation schemes work. I get that you’re assessed on the work you do as well more formal assessments such as interviews, groups tasks, etc. My question is, what are the more subtle, unspoken things I’ll be assessed on/should keep in mind/ will help me stand out?


I’m particularly intrigued by the whole concept of “coffee chats”. How do you go about them? Is it strictly mandatory?


Is there anything else similar I should keep in mind?
