Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I attended daily seminars and workshops. The purpose of this was to get a glimpse of what life is like for lawyers at DLA Piper. Many of the talks were very useful, e.g. "how to create a good CV". Very positive experience overall.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very insightful, and I feel like my understanding has improved thanks to the programme.
