Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day involved working within the team you were placed in for the week, conducting typical trainee tasks such as drafting ancillary documents. We also had daily insight talks that allowed us to build our knowledge of the different practice areas at the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was an extremely insightful experience, that allowed me to gain clarity over how hierarchical teams within the firm operate. Notably, how trainee's, associates and partners work together on different parts of the same deal.
