Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
On day one, we were introduced to the trainees and various other people at the firm. We attended a few introductory talks and then started working in our allocated department.
Each day, we received a range of tasks within the department, which offered a comprehensive view of a trainee solicitor's role and responsibilities at Gateley.
Throughout the week, we were able to learn about other practice areas and the type of work they do.
