Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Full day of activities to learn more about the firm. Started off with introduction to the graduate recruitment team, then insights into their corporate and disputes practice. Most of the day centered around a commercial awareness workshop where we worked in small groups to consider a fictional issue.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It helped me better understand the options I would have at the firm, and the fact that I would be able to take control over my growth at the firm due to the wide range of opportunities available.
