Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I spent a week sitting with a practice area, I was supervised by an Associate on the team and was allocated two trainee buddies. I participated in firm socials, attended practice area 'Focus-On' workshops, networked with associates from all over the firm, and completed helpful work tasks for my supervisor.

It was very useful, I felt like I gained an insight into life at the firm in a depth that I hadn't been able to access before. My commercial awareness and client understanding skills were strengthened and I gained a thorough understanding and new perspective on how a law firm operates and thrives.
