Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was given the opportunity to gain insight about all things law. this was done through a 3 day programme. During these days we had sessions with some of the firms most intellectually smart and top of the line associates and trainees in the industry. There was a group of individuals on the programme alongside me and everyone was treated equally. we were taught about different sectors of law from corporate to competition, transactional, and energy law.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It gave me great relief that I attended this programme as it enhanced my knowledge on the path I need to take for me to become a lawyer in the firm and the steps I have to take for imminent success. I will use this as motivation to reach my goal of becoming a corporate lawyer, for instance before attending the course I was unsure on what my next steps would be after graduation, but after the course I became confident as I was instructed with information with regards to applying for a plc contract in order to become a associate in my desired field of law.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It was a very professional environment where when work needed to be finished it would get done, and when it was time to relax we would take 5minute breaks to cool down can collect ourselves to get started for the next session ahead.
