Overview
On day one, we were introduced to the trainees and various other people at the firm. We attended a few introductory talks and then started working in our allocated department. Each day, we received a range of tasks within the department, which offered a comprehensive view of a trainee solicitor's role and responsibilities at Gateley. Throughout the week, we were able to learn about other practice areas and the type of work they do.
