Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

As a fourth year apprentice my role essentially mimics the role of a trainee solicitor at the firm. Day-to-day tasks will be team dependent but will often involve assisting with the drafting of documents, communicating with clients, generally assisting on the transaction process in a transactional-based seat.
