Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were set tasks by our supervisor and trainee buddy, and we also had a workbook to complete whenever we had spare moments. Presentations were given throughout the week, which were really helpful.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was fantastic to learn both through the presentations and the many opportunities we were given to speak directly with lawyers in various practice groups. They were very generous with their time and keen to help.
