    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • We have had multiple sessions organised during each of the 5 days. We heard from very prominent figures in the business. We learned about DLA Piper's strategy, practice areas, their SESG, Health and Wellbeing, as well as, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. Each day was very well planned and each session was brilliant. We also had to prepare a presentation based on a business case study.
