Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first week included many discussions (mostly over teams) discussing different firm initiatives and selling points. Every participant was assigned a department, along with the supervisor and trainee buddy. Both allocated work which varied depending on the department you were in.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was exciting to see how the firm's focus on insurance and litigation is highly applicable to almost any commercial field, from cyber to aviation!

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Clyde & Co LLP
Be passionate, and motivated about why you want to join the firm specifically. They look for motivation and passion for the work they do over your skill level. A 1st class in Law from oxford means less then a smile and concise answer to "why law" that doesn't start with "well since I was 2 months old"
