    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • In short, this has been a great week! I have been placed in the banking dept for the week and my perception, even from this short time, has changed a lot on banking. I have been involved in real legal work from drafting to meetings, and all of it has truly contributed to boosting my legal skills. Jodie has organised a great week and very insightful talks into each dept. Overall, truly recommend!
