Daily real life tasks, and some trainee recruitment-set tasks. Super fun experience. Learned a lot about corporate law, and everyone was always very friendly. We all felt super welcome!

Very interesting - all the work was fun, and vacation scheme principals (associates at the firm) were always available to help.
