Working alongside your international colleagues gives you the experience you need to deepen your specialist expertise, progress your career and deliver a seamless global service to our clients.
A secondment offers the perfect opportunity to take a look at another Taylor Wessing office. For me, it was interesting to see what kind of matters my colleagues from the London office were dealing with and their methods.
I also got more familiar with the legal system of the UK, which helps me understand their position and questions better. Moreover, I got to know my colleagues better and that makes it easier to reach out when a client needs assistance in the UK. And of course: it was a great experience to live and work in London for a few weeks.
I was fortunate enough to go on secondment to Taylor Wessing’s Frankfurt office for 3 weeks. It was a great opportunity to meet with colleagues and clients in Germany and to build on existing relationships and develop new ones.
The experience has led to closer ties with our Frankfurt office as well as an instruction from a new client.
I went on secondment to Taylor Wessing's Amsterdam office in August 2019, sitting with the Banking & Finance team for three weeks. The whole Amsterdam office were incredibly welcome and made me feel right at home from my first day.
Whilst I was there I also had the chance to spend a day in the Eindhoven office; it was really interesting to be able to compare the differences between the two offices. Being in Amsterdam for three weeks also gave me the opportunity to meet-up with some of our international clients and I was even able to attend a client’s offices to deliver some training.
