Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There was a three day induction in the London office which consisted of learning more about the firm, its practice areas, people, and its strategy. The next two weeks I spent in the corporate department and assisted trainees and associates with document review, drafting, creating meeting notes and creating document bundles. I have not yet started my final week in the responsible business department.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very good. We have had various talks from employees who work in the knowledge hub, technology sector and well being sector to name a few.
