    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I helped my principal with tasks relating to restructuring and insolvency, sat in on calls and meetings. I attended sessions about practice group and gained an understanding of the strategy and various practice areas of the firm. We were encouraged to network and discovered the friendly, welcoming culture of the firm.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Time management was the greatest skill I developed. It was very difficult juggling the work from our principal, the assessed tasks, networking coffees, social events, practice area sessions. It took me a while to find a rhythm.
