About You
It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It was great to meet such a variety of people both within the firm and the interns attending the scheme.
During our time with people within the firm, especially during talks and office specific tasks, I felt our questions were responded to with real interest. All those involved ensured we were doing well and enjoying the internship.
The drop in sessions with the trainees were extremely helpful. Having the opportunity to talk with the trainees directly was a great way to understand the culture of the firm.
The talks we received throughout the week has demonstrated the reliance and attitude needed to succeed in the legal market, regardless of your background.
The Company
The week internship was well structured. My only comment would be that it would have been great to have had more time with our fellow interns who were applying to the same office and those based in that office.
Everyone involved on the scheme, whether interns or employees of DLA were full of enthusiasm, making the scheme what it was; a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
