Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

Day-to-day I have been involved in some active and some closed tasks. This involved things such as drafting, research and contract summaries. I also spent a lot of time over the first week preparing for the presentations.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Very insightful. There are many practice areas that you would struggle to truly understand from an online search, which meant that by bein immersed in person I was able to truly assess the potential roles available.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The culture was very friendly, but not at the cost of being hard working. All the teams were very committed to what they were doing but would still make time for us whenever needed.
