Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A mixture of fun activities (bowling, going out for dinner, picking up litter from the canal!), workshops (personal brand workshop, crypto workshop) and interesting work (my highlight was attending a conference in chambers with a big insurer).
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was an insight like no other. I would really encourage anyone to do the vacation scheme before joining the firm as you get to know so much about the firm in such a short space of time.
