    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • We spent each day with a different department, some in-person and some on teams. We completed tasks typical of a trainee solicitor each day and were offered feedback on these. We had insightful coffee mornings throughout with staff from the departments we weren’t sitting in. There was a partner interview on the final day of the placement.
