    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The scheme involved a combination of presentations, group case studies and tasks for the team students were sat with. For myself, that involved conducting research, reviewing documents, drafting letters, and other typical trainee tasks.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes - I developed lots of new technical skills that I didn’t have before having come from a non-law background, such as drafting and reviewing. I learnt a whole range of legal terminology and the scheme also helped to develop my interpersonal skills.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • It was so useful as it has made me much more confident in my career aspirations. It also meant I have gained a much stronger understanding of areas of the law that I hadn’t previously considered as potential areas of interest.
