Skills Development
What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
5/5
I learnt how to assert myself and speak up more. Although at times I would be skeptical with my answers, everyone was very welcoming thus I didn't feel embarrassed. From a law perspective, I learnt about writing CVs, responsible business and case studies etc.

Staff and trainee sessions were put in place to help me get a better understanding of the morals and values of Pinsent Masons which didn't go unnoticed!

Yes! There were networking lunches which I thought was very accommodating as it was virtual.
