Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
In a short space of time, I was able to work on live matters, learn about the firm's diverse practice areas and get involved in a wide range of activities, including a pro bono workshop. On a day-to-day basis, I had a mix of insight sessions into the firm's practice areas, sat in on meetings in my team, wrote attendance notes and conducted research. It was fast-paced but hugely informative and people across the firm were friendly and welcoming.
