    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • As an intern, I got involved with real life matters and cases. For example, I attended client meetings, hearings, and internal training sessions. I conducted research tasks and undertook legal drafting, and attended firm events. As an intern, I was able to develop my legal skills and had the opportunity to engage with fee-earners at all levels: from trainees to Partners. Everyone was really approachable and happy to answer any questions I had.
