About You
Greatly- the combination of career-related and social-based activities made for a very enjoyable few days.
Very- I was made to feel very welcome and the atmosphere made me feel comfortable and at ease.
Lots- everyone from the trainees to the senior associates were very, very helpful.
Hugely- I am now far more likely to pursue a career in law.
The Company
Very well- the fact that the company provided transport really helped too.
Very good- members of staff and students interacted very well.
In terms of financial aid and efforts to get me to the placement, the company was outstanding.
Shadowing a trainee was particularly helpful.
The insight into the culture of a global law firm was invaluable.
It was helpful in that I have now decided I want experience working in the city.
Everything Else
All travel (including flights) and accommodation (two nights at a very smart hotel) was covered.
The opportunities never stopped and I came away with lots of useful contacts.
Brilliant.
Yes- I was particularly interested in the sports opportunities offered by the company.
Definitely
