Drafting a whole document from scratch. It was only oneAspect of the project, but that direct contact gave me real Insights into that branch of the law. 3 At first, I wasn't sure that I fitted Haddiscoe's image, having Trained in a more traditional firm, but I did eventually find I Had lots in common with my colleagues. What actually attracted me was the firm's willingness to experiment with Different ways of working, even for more junior staff; Staggered hours, the option of working at home sometimes - it was all refreshingly forward-looking. Once there, the Most beneficial thing for me personally was working as part of a team on complex international projects where we'd liaise closely with various overseas offices. It wouldn't have Been my choice, because nothing in my previous training Had prepared me for that, but I gradually acquired the Necessary expertise, 4 I'd read a very positive article about Haddiscoe in the Press, but it was only at the interview that I sensed how Intent they were on expansion. I reckoned that would mean Training opportunities, interesting work with high-profile clients, etc., so I didn't even apply to any other firms. In actual fact, I've mostly been involved with fairly routine work with little opportunity to branch out. It wouldn't have been my choice, but it has meant that I'm trusted to do more Things on my own. Like when the partner takes me along to Meetings and then leaves all the follow-up to me - drafting The documents, preparing for the signing, etc. Some colleagues recruited more recently don't really get that. Friends working at Haddiscoe seemed quite enthusiastic, but colleagues aren't everything, so I got hold of a copy of the firm's mission statement. It might not be the best way To choose an employer, but I found myself in sympathy with Their general approach and so applied. I was pleasantly Surprised by the variety and the scale of the litigation Projects I got involved in, though I have to be flexible. But The real plus for me is the chance I get to pass my Knowledge and experience on to newer recruits. Devoting Time to the induction course means less contact with Clients, which might mean less higher-level work in the Future, but the rewards far outweigh any drawbacks.
