Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

Given ad-hoc tasks by supervisors and others in the practice area. Opportunity to sit in on calls and meetings to learn about the work. Had scheme-specific talks on practice areas, pro bono work. Had to present a group presentation to a client of the firm.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

The firm was very candid, and it was very clear what a career in the firm might look like.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

I enjoyed the scheme as a whole a lot, but I especially enjoyed the work as I was given high-quality work through-out the work. However, given the nurturing environment, I never felt like I was not supported in finishing these tasks.
