    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The work was sometimes challenging, as a law career will be, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I feel it was a good insight to life as a trainee with Pinsent Masons.

    • 4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • What I have learned over the past two weeks will, I believe, assist me more if I have another vacation scheme or training contract in the future rather than my studies directly.
