It was brilliant
The time I spent at BLP was incredibly interesting and I felt thoroughly involved in the projects they were working on
Always busy interesting work met some great people fun socials
The placement was challenging but very interesting The work was not monotonous and catered to my level of understanding
It was a good mix of research tasks and practical experience Whilst some tasks may have seemed simplistic it gave you a good grounding in deals operated In addition being able to sit in on meetings and telephone conferences was particularly enlightenin

The placement offered opportunities to find out about the firm as a whole and be involved in real substantive work
Two weeks was a good length of time to experience the firm and there were also many fun evening events that we were able to enjoy
