Overview of Experience

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

The scheme involved sitting in real estate and tax and benefits. I completed a research task in each seat and attended practice overview talks in different practice areas.

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

It was interesting getting an in-depth understanding of the real work and deals that the lawyers are involved in.
