Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Two weeks conducted virtually from home. Entailed a combination of events organised by the Early careers team and work set by the respective departments, culminating with a training contract interview at the end. Events included department talks, pro Bono and CSR talks, networking and socials (such as a cocktails and painting class)
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very interesting to understand how a law firm works from the inside. Also useful to learn how a law firm functions as a business, and the challenges Clyde & Co face.
