Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The average day was a blend of conducting legal research on specific questions of law depending on the practice area you were sitting with, attending client calls and presentations held specifically for vacation scheme students.
The Graduate recruitment team organized a few social events which were an absolute delight to attend.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a wonderful journey as I was acquainted with the various roles at the firm. I was able to interact with various professionals from different legal practice areas. The process of understanding what it is a law firm does exactly is extremely rewarding.
