"What do corporate lawyers actually do?" is a question I asked myself tons before starting out as a trainee solicitor at Clifford Chance. I'd obviously watched Suits and seen how much of a boss Mike Ross was when working with Harvey, and wondered whether I would feel even remotely like Mike when working with my supervisor

So I decided to spend my coffee breaks explaining what I actually do in a day as a trainee corporate lawyer. How bad are the hours really? Are there parts of the job that are boring? And do I have any kind of worklife balance?

Hopefully this is a pretty representative insight into what a day working at a firm like Clifford Chance looks like obviously it's just one day, and some days are longer, some shorter, some busier, and some less busy. But this hopefully gives you a decent idea

If we’re completely honest, for most people who go into corporate law, excitement, money and the chance to be at the heart of huge business deals IS what draws them to the profession. But is this the reality for a trainee at a magic circle law firm?

Let's find out.
