  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I worked within many offices in the big firm which gave me a very varied experience when understanding what goes on in the firm. I often did work that our supervisors were tasked with which was really great for easily getting to experience the difficult role of a solicitor first-hand.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have noticed my use of legal language has increased which is great for the long-term as it gives the impression of a guy who knows what hes talking about. Also, the fact that people were so talkative and friendly meant that I was able to talk about what I was working on which is a another step towards confident understanding.
