  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I spent 1 week on a work experience placement at Pinsent Masons. My daily tasks were varied and different but always interesting. I was lucky enough to be sat next to a trainee and partner of the firm, so I had plenty of variety around me. I was given tasks by people from all levels within the firm. Ranging from research tasks to administrational tasks.
