    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was assigned to two seats in different practice areas across the four weeks, where I sat with a principal (an Associate in my first seat, and a Managing Associate in the second week), who assigned tasks which helped further my knowledge of the work done in the practice area. Alongside this, Graduate Recruitment kept insight talks throughout the day, and socials in the evenings.
