Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Upskilling sessions daily; talks from geographical managing partners; talks with representatives from the firm’s internal people networks; sessions with the Dublin office specifically and other sessions were with all UK, Ireland and Dubai interns; and group presentation work.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Brilliant! Couldn’t have asked for a more professional, considerate and motivating group of speakers. They were thoroughly informed and took time to answer our (many!) questions.
