Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The scheme was fantastic. I learnt a lot about corporate and employment law and was regularly challenged. On a daily basis, I conducted legal research, networked with peers and colleagues, and drafted legal texts. We also had multiple social events to meet other people at the firm. I was inspired by the work and the people I met everyday.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very insightful. We were exposed to a variety of different roles within the firm. It was also incredibly insightful to hear directly from the managing director and CFO.
