About You
With all the uncertainties around the COVID-19, the Graduate Recruitment Team did an amazing job designing the virtual internship and it exceeded my expectations in so many levels. It was a great opportunity to get to know more about DLA Piper and to extend my network and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career as a Solicitor. In the worst case scenario, you will learn something and have a lot of fun.
The head of the Graduate Recruitment and Development, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions], welcomed us every day with tons of enthusiasm making easy to forget that everything was happening online. Also, all the partners and associates that talked to us were really warm and open, making the experience really enjoyable!
The Company
We received daily schedules and all the activities were interconnected and useful to complete our assigned tasks.
Considering that the virtual internship last for only a week, the amount of knowledge gained is definitely above average of my previous experiences.
