Business Insight
Learned about the firm's D&I, Pro-bono and Africa Strategy as well as the roles and responsibilities of trainees, associates and partners in practice.
Culture
Very open and friendly. Everyone is extremely happy to share their knowledge and experience with you but also genuinely want to hear about your career journey and ambitions too. It is clear that Latham wants to support its lawyers' professional and personal growth.
Your Impressions
Highly. I gained a practical and first-hand insight into the work of M&A and Antitrust lawyers in a way that I could not otherwise learn by merely researching online about the firm.
Yes
Truly understand why you want to work at a large international firm like Latham, and what distinguishes Latham from its competitors. Also, be as kind, open and attentive to everyone that you meet on the scheme as they often share some amazing advice.
