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 would consist of a mixture of 'Coffee Conversations', whereby we'd have around an hour to learn about different legal departments in the firm, as well as time to complete work for our supervisor and complete any assessed tasks we had. We also had the opportunity to sit in on meetings (mainly internal meetings), as well as book individual conversations with members of particular departments we were interested in.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
This was extremely insightful, and we had several talks to supplement our knowledge in this area.

So unexpectedly friendly! Everyone made a conscious effort to make us students feel welcome. It was a very open door policy and I enjoyed the fact that I could also work for different departments other than my own.
