    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • The two day Talent Academy event was well organized. We have a great opportunity to meet people in the firm: From associates to partners. The debate was very interesting. It allows me to have some idea about the most popular topic such as: the cloud and HS2 and gender pay gap. I also developed my team working skills through the preparation of the debate.
