Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
In short, this has been a great week! I have been placed in the banking dept for the week and my perception, even from this short time, has changed a lot on banking. I have been involved in real legal work from drafting to meetings, and all of it has truly contributed to boosting my legal skills. Jodie has organised a great week and very insightful talks into each dept. Overall, truly recommend!

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Gateley
Make sure to show your personality and not just conform to the stereotypical 'eager law student' form- try to show something unique about yourself (I talked about dinosaurs in my interview).
