Overview
We received presentations on CC's key practice areas (Corporate, GFM, L&DR, TPEI etc.) as well as some presentations about the firm (international opportunities, pro bono work etc.). During the practice area presentations, we would typically be given case study work to do in groups which made it really engaging. There were also a couple socials and networking sessions to get to know employees and the cohort better.
Skills
I definitely developed my commercial awareness, networking, and communication skills.
Business Insight
It was really helpful because gaining an insight into the business and what a trainee would typically do definitely helps narrow down which areas I'm interested in and areas which I'm less interested in if I were to join as a trainee.
Culture
Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. The cohort was really supportive too - whenever I asked questions I would see people in the chat saying "great question" etc. so the environment was really supportive.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed it, it was probably the best insight scheme I have attended. Not only was it really informative but the environment was conducive to learning and making great friends/connections.
Yes
For the 600 word question, really talk about a unique experience which you feel makes you stand out from the crowd. It doesn't have to be legal related or anything, talk about something you were really passionate about and the skills that came out of it.
