    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • We were there to gain an insight into life at Taylor Wessing. We were each placed into a department, who gave us a practice area task to complete. We also had a group task and an assessed task to complete in the week. The remainder of our time was spent hearing from the firm’s lawyers about each department and having one on one meetings with those we were particularly interested by.
