Overview of the Experience
Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
This work experience involved a massive insight into what Pinsent Masons is about and what they do. It has given us lots of tips and heads up as to how to apply for jobs and how to work on our CV to make them as attractive as possible. We were also given tasks similar to real life and were asked to analyse the evidence and make decisions based on evidence. We learned about the fundamentals of contracts and how to tell the difference between scenarios which included a contract or not which I enjoyed very much. In addition, we had to argue whether Jaffa cakes are cakes or biscuits which was very interesting to hear so many different view points from so many people. I also really enjoyed the activity of employee misconduct. Thank you.
