Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The first week of the internship consisted of a "Business of Law" week which was designed to create a real life impression of the relationship between business and law. We got involved in real life client dialogue, presented as part of an innovation den, undertook a business simulation activity and engaged in honest and open conversations with partners and trainees. This week allowed us to see the real culture and values of the firm.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We were given the responsibility to engage in real life client dialogue which shows that the firm trusts us to deal with some of their biggest clients.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I developed the ability to deduct key information and present findings within short periods of time. I have become more composed in pressurised and demanding situations which I believe the simulation activity really helped me in.
