Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The scheme was very insightful. We were given real work on cases and transactions from our supervisors, had regular talks from the lawyers about their respective practice areas, and also some assessed tasks.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The lawyers made a conscious effort to each us about how a law firm operates as a business, which was very interesting.

The company culture and general atmosphere was exceptional. All lawyers, no matter how senior, were enthusiastic about taking time out of their days to talk to us, even on an individual basis.
