Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Associates and trainees assigned us daily tasks in order to provide us with an insight into the work that they do and the responsibilities placed upon solicitors. We also got invited to client calls, and got to network with people in each department.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was extremely useful, as we had an opportunity to attend a 3-day insight scheme in the beginning of the internship. During that time we had guest speakers come and tell us about the work they do and the future aspirations for the firm. Overall, I had a solid understanding about the work they do and the opportunities available.
