Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We were fully immersed into the day-to-day goings on in our allocated departments. Tasks included attending meetings and recording minutes, attending court and doing legal research.
There were also scheduled lecture-style sessions where individuals from different practice areas would come and explain the type of deals/cases they worked on. We were able to ask questions at the end of each session.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Everyone was generally friendly, but people did not go out of their way to socialise after work. Only two TW lawyers turned up to a departmental drinks I went along to, which was disappointing considering the department is one of the largest at the firm.
