Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We spent three days total in the office. We heard talks from a range of different people at the firm and took part in case simulation workshops with some of the lawyers and trainees. We had the opportunity to ask lots of questions and learn more about the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
This was extremely useful, we had a Q&A session with the early careers team so learnt a lot about what the potential early careers look like in practice.
