Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
2 week vacation scheme with a seat in 2 different departments. Completed trainee level tasks including legal research, drafting a press release and getting involved in the trainee business blog. Also worked in groups to prepare a presentation on ESG.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The two weeks really provided an opportunity to network with people at all levels of the firm, from paralegals to partners. This level of insight is something you can only really achieve by being in the firm and participating in the scheme
