Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Apart from completing written tasks, which required analyzing loan documentations, partnership agreements, checking the Companies House and other registers in order to help research and draft client memos or know-how documents for internal distribution, we would attend presentations given by the firm's various departments.
Usually lunch was provided at these events and they provided a great networking opportunity. Some evening we would have socials booked, such as pizza-making.
