    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The 2-day workshop included insights into the different practice areas, in particular the dispute group, which introduced us to the firm's involvement in the UK Supreme Court Prorogation Ruling in 2019. Additionally, we took part in an ADR workshop as well as in sessions in which we were able to network with the trainees. Finally, for the social activity, we enjoyed a Chocolate- Making session.
