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 was in the London office providing the opportunity to meet all of the other interns.
A series of talks each day along with interactive workshops provided a great introduction to the firm.
The following two weeks were in the regional office of choice. Here you say in a different team each week depending on your choice.
You were provided with a wide view of the types of work the firm does.

Excellent.
The ongoing series of insight talks everyday along with the ability to ask any member of staff questions enabled you to learn everything you wanted to about the firm.
