Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

We got involved with various department tasks with corporate, banking and finance, restructuring, and construction. Everyday we had insight and networking sessions which allowed us to meet firm employees and understand the culture and work that goes on.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

It was intriguing to hear everyone's experiences and journeys to becoming solicitors. It was refreshing to see Gateley's culture shining through all of the firm's members and getting a clear oversight of the work being done.
