Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The open day aimed to give an insight into Taylor Wessing and the kind of work they are involved with as well as introducing different members of the team including the Senior Managing Partner and graduate recruitment team. They also gave information about their current aims to improve diversity, inclusion and sustainability.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting to learn about how big a law firm actually is and all the different departments that exist. As a full-service firm it became clear that TW has so many options regarding possible placements during a TC.
