Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

Sat in two different seats (1 seat area per week). Did not choose the seat, was allocated and we were informed at the beginning of the week.
Worked with a buddy and a supervisor who would give me case work that is involved at trainee level at the firm to get a feel for the type of the work that Dentons specialise in.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

It was very challenging but interesting. You really learn what different skills are required and what each person at the firm brings to the role.
You also learn how the business differentiate themselves from other law firms (eg. Innovation) and how lasting client relationships are intergeal.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

Very much so. However, it is also mentally exhausting. You need to push yourself to get as much out of the vacation scheme as possible and it's always good to try to engage in interesting and insightful conversations which made it even more enjoyable.
