Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The vacation scheme was an incredibly useful and enjoyable insight into the life of a trainee at Gibson Dunn. The graduate recruitment team had organised many events for us which allowed us to gain insight into a huge amount of practice areas. Supervisors were all very friendly and eager to speak about their work. The work was very exciting and fast-paced.
