    Overview

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

    • On the first day, we attended welcome sessions with the Dentons team, which was followed by a virtual social to help us get to know others on the vacation scheme. Throughout the scheme, I was placed in two different teams and was given really interesting tasks to complete throughout the day. There was regular coffees scheduled with my mentor and buddies to ensure I was getting on okay. We also had lunchtime webinars scheduled throughout.
