Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The virtual work experiences began with a nice introduction. They explained the difficult nature of commercial law but also the joy of completing a high-level M&A deal.
This event increased my motivation to become a corporate/commercial lawyer.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very motivational, as it allowed me to understand the plethora of options available to me after I complete my law degree.
Due to my upbringing, I have always had a business-focused mind and this insight day has further increased this mindset.
