    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • As part of the business of Law week, we learnt about the firm and had the opportunity to meet different people related to CMS (both clients and fee earners). This week also involved a range of assessments. The internship part of the Academy included being in the office each day and working with your allocated team. This provided me with an insight into life as a trainee at CMS. My day-to-day involved trainee solicitors tasks such as researching and helping the team.
