Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Vacation schemers sit in two seats during the experience. We were assigned buddies and supervisors for each seat. I sat in PRM and Lending and Restructuring.
General tasks included document drafting, client calls, case summaries, creating ‘bibles’, and more.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I developed a lot of new skills that aren’t typically taught in the LLB such as client sensitivity.
