Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had q&a sessions and shadowing apprentices and lawyers from the firm. Also had a writing activity session which was a similar format to the LNAT. It helped me practice for LNAT exam.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting as before I went there I was set on university but after the week I’m now thinking of doing an apprenticeship.
