    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The two day insight consisted of presentations and interactive sessions. It was valuable to gain an insight into the firm and learn about the culture there. What stood out for me was the Alternative disputes resolution workshop and shadowing a trainee for the afternoon. We also had a networking social in the evening and plenty of other opportunities to talk with the employers at HSF.
