    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The Open Day was an incredible opportunity to visit Taylor Wessing's offices and gain an insight on the firm's work and culture. Participants got to hear from partners, associates, trainees, and the Grad Rec team. Questions were encouraged throughout, contributing to a very interactive experience. The group exercise and feedback we received will be very beneficial for future assessment centres. Overall, the Open Day was very enjoyable and I would highly recommend it!


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I gained a much better understanding of what sets Taylor Wessing apart from other law firms. Although I had repeatedly heard good things about the firm's culture, the Open Day gave me the opportunity to actually experience that culture. The skills session with the Grad Rec team offered invaluable advice for vac scheme applications.
