Overview of Experience

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

The scheme was filled with various panel sessions where we could learn more about different practice areas. We were also given the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers. Besides this, I spent time working on assigned tasks and networking with people across the firm. There were also regular social events, which was a great way to meet more people.
