    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The insight scheme involved a series of talks from people from leadership positions in the firm. They starred by introducing us to the firms culture, aims, practice groups and then switched the focus to innovation and the future of law. Throughout the sessions great emphasis was placed upon ESG and pro bono with some very moving case studies retold to us. Overall, it was amazing and particularly seeing real leaders from the firm.
