About You
It was an incredible experience; I received a great insight into the firm and the legal profession, and met amazing people who I will definitely keep in touch with! A huge thanks to the Graduate Recruitment team, who couldn't have done a better job.
The members of the firm welcomed us wonderfully and definitely made us feel valued as individuals.
We had the possibility to ask as many questions as possible, and everyone was extremely available.
So far, this is the experience that taught me the most with regard to my future career as a commercial solicitor. It also allowed me to understand how to stand out in applications and interviews.
The Company
The insight was very well structured; the presentations and team projects were very varied and comprehensive. Perhaps we could have had a tour of the firm, but overall it was very well prepared and I strongly appreciated the fact that partners took the time to come and speak to us, despite the huge amount of work they have to deal with.
Everyone was very smart and fun; the atmosphere really made me feel comfortable.
