Overview
Mostly talks from different members of the firm, on everything from discussion of practice areas to their pro bono initiatives. There were always opportunities to ask questions. We also did a group project, working together in a pitching exercise.
Skills
I developed skills especially in teamwork and presenting through the group project.
Business Insight
It was really exciting to hear more about the firm, especially as everyone involved was incredibly friendly.
Culture
Extremely friendly and non-hierarchical. I had heard a lot about how friendly DLA is and it's definitely true at all levels (even Co-CEO Simon Levine was amazingly approachable).
Your Impressions
Very much! This obviously wasn't a normal year with everything being online - but Grad Recruitment had clearly worked hard to make it the best it could be.
Yes
Be yourself and be genuine. I know this sounds really cliched - but everyone was so genuine, I really don't think faking it is the way to go.
