Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Each day provided different insights into life at DLA Piper with different presenters talking roughly every hour. Our days were broken up by frequent brakes.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We were! We were given responsibility to mainly present a case to a pretend client. For this, we were completely on our own and so responsibility to complete this task was certainly there.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Definitely! Communication with my fellow interns through games and exercises was certainly a development of my communication skills. timekeeping and organisational skills were improved through the tasks assigned to us as a group. Keeping to a deadline and presenting coherent work was essential.
