4.1/5
I really enjoyed the insight day. Especially the buddy part of the day
During the event the buddy allowed me to assist with reading through a document.
The buddies were really useful and helped shape my views on the company's ethos
The skills I developed I hope will help me secure further placements with the firm
The insight scheme was very well structured and flowed really well
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the firm
The company invested a lot considering it was a first year scheme. This really encouraged me to apply for further placements
It helped me see that commercial law was the sector I wished to partake in and allowed me to see what that would usually entail during the day
It was good to see how the firm was structured and how well this worked. As well as the environment in which they worked.
This really showed me this was a career path I wished to follow
This was done quickly and easily
A large proportion of the day was networking
They allowed you to talk to people in all different sectors of the firm. Could have potentially spent more time doing this
Yes, we found out about all the different activities including the pro bono work
It was a very useful scheme and has provided me with a lot of information I will need for the future
