    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • At the beginning of the internship we spent 4 days in the London office, this consisted of talks from various stakeholders within the firm globaly, we also had a litigation simulation which was highly engaging and a briliant way to collaborate with other interns. After the 4 days, you return to the office you applied to. You get to participate in two practice groups, it is a great way to get an insight of the work which you will take part in if you sre offered a Training Contract. For the entire 3 weeks all meals were provided for and you are also assigned a budy to aide you throughout the internship.
