Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
During the scheme I sat in two seats under different supervisors in their offices. I was able to do work for my supervisors as well as seek work out from other departments of interest.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was valuable to gain an insight into the daily workings of a law firm and what trainee tasks are actually like. I was able to understand the role the trainees play during transactions/cases.
