    Overview

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

    • This was a one day in person open day, with a group of around 25-30 invitees. We were welcomed into the firm through talks from graduate recruitment, graduate recruitment partners as senior partners. We took part in a networking lunch with trainees provided by the firm's in-house kitchen. In the afternoon we took part in an interactive commercial awareness game with attendees and trainees.
