Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day tasks involved attending client meetings, completing contract reviews, creating attendance notes, conducting legal research.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The firm was very transparent of the opportunities available, granted much of the focus was around them as a firm providing Training Contract positions as compared yo paralegal roles. Nevertheless, within the first 3 days, we spend it in London attending countless talks surrounding the firm and the general opportunities there.
