Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had a 3-day induction before the internship which was very helpful as it helps us learn more about the firm. We were then assigned to work in one practice area for 2 weeks and another practice area for 1 week. This allows us to gain insight into each practice. During the internship, I assist associates in researching legal issues, reviewing documents, taking meeting minutes and administrative tasks.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The people here are very friendly and approachable. Speaking to partners and associates helped me understand the firm's strategy and qualities the firm look for.
