Attended various presentations delivered by members across the firm. Completed an assessed drafting exercise, research task and group presentation during the week.

Because of the virtual format of the scheme, all tasks were simulated.

All instructions were clear and we had a readily accessible network of people we could contact if we ran into difficulty.

The culture of the firm was fantastic - inclusive, friendly and supportive.
