    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The first week was in the London office providing the opportunity to meet all of the other interns. A series of talks each day along with interactive workshops provided a great introduction to the firm. The following two weeks were in the regional office of choice. Here you say in a different team each week depending on your choice. You were provided with a wide view of the types of work the firm does.
