Testimony from a previous Research Analyst - Elizabeth Insley, University of Warwick (Class of 2021, BA(Hons) French with Spanish) “I started working with the E³ Consulting team in 2018, initially as a summer Legal Research intern which developed into working as a Brand Ambassador, and then continued as a part-time Research Analyst. Whilst I learnt an immeasurable amount during my time with E3, the importance of collaboration stood out as one of the most valuable insights, as well as the broader benefit of working in an immensely supportive and open-minded company. The confidence and commercial perspective which I gained from my time with E3 was a significant factor in my securing a training contract with a Magic Circle law firm, for which I am currently undertaking postgraduate legal studies
