Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Before we started the internship we were required to pick out top 3 prefrences for which seats we wanted to be sat at on week 2 and week 3 of the internship. During the 2 weeks we were given core objectives that we had to satisfy including: a legal research task, drafting a client memo etc
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We had talks everyday from different international group heads which really enabled us to deepen our understanding about the business. It was very interesting to learn more about the business whilst sat in each practice area as well as learning about the roles available.
