Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The hours were generally 9-5. In the first week we attended scheduled talks in London. The next two weeks were spent experiencing different legal practice areas in our home offices, attending meetings and drafting minutes. There was one assessed group project and presentation.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very exciting, the experience made all the potential roles in the legal profession much more tangible.
