Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Spent two weeks with a department at the firm. Conducted a range of tasks to support the team and gain an insight into the kind of tasks lawyers conduct on a day-to-day basis.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I attended several talks with graduate recruitment and solicitors from other departments - this gave me a strong insight into the roles available in the firm and how the firm operates as a business.
