Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Sat in the corporate department. The daily tasks included reviewing contracts, researching clients and attending meetings. Also had socials with the rest of the vacation schemers as well as people from the firm, where I got to experience the culture of Latham.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The potential roles were laid out very clearly once I made an effort to approach people at the firm and seek details about the business. However, the scheme was short and therefore did not involve any presentations which made it a bit difficult to access such information.
