    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Immensely enjoyed the scheme. It was well organised and presenters were enthusiastic and welcomes questions from attendees. The variety of presentations meant we learned a lot about the firm and the culture. The support provided by supervisors and trainee buddies was also beneficial to the experience.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well structured. Schedule was set out clearly, as were resources for assessments and additional information. I would add that when the time changes for a presentation, this was updated on Inside Sherpa. An alert would have been beneficial for those of us who had added events to and were working based on our personal calendars.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Atmosphere was open and friendly and encouraging. Felt I could ask lawyers anything, people were friendly and interested in my academic and career journey. I was also encouraged to seek out information and people that wasn’t necessarily timetabled for the scheme.
