  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • The scheme did a great job in teaching us about the day-to-day work that commercial lawyers actually do. Many people I spoke to also gave me great research resources to help me gain knowledge on Linklaters' work even after the scheme.
