    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The insight programme involved sessions explaining the practice groups and sectors at DLA Piper and the importance of responsible business and diversity and inclusion to the firm. There was opportunities to talk to trainees at the firm and find out more about their experience. There were many group activities to get involved with, including an interactive legal case study. There was also an evening social which was a great way to get to know the other attendees.
