What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The frequent talks from current paralegals, apprentices and solicitors posed an intellectually stimulating nature whilst simultaneously learning about different roles available such as partners/trainees. Additionally there were fantastic interactive sessions such as competitive quizes, after we were taught about the demeanour in Magic Circle Law firms and US firms.
