We catch up with Bright Network member Ben, who recently attended the Taylor Wessing First Year Trailblazing Insight Day.
Why did you choose this firm and insight day?

What was the toughest part of the application process? And your favourite part?

Were you surprised by anything in the process?

- Don't apply to too many firms
