    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I attended Taylor Wessing's Trailblazing Open Day which provided several excellent opportunities to learn about the firm. I appreciate the huge effort that Taylor Wessing made to ensure that it was an exciting and insightful day. I enjoyed all the events, which included a Q&A with the UK managing partner, group exercise, and lunch with trainees.

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

    • The group activity was great practice for getting the balance between working in a team and demonstrating good leadership. This task was also useful for developing important communication skills needed for discussing and presenting ideas in a commercial context.
