Moreover, it developed specific professional skills such as public speaking, maintaining relationships with coworkers and really gave a taste of what it is like to work. This week was an incredible transition into the world of work for most of us as we are graduating from university.

I would suggest researching the firm and speaking to the lawyers at the firm before applying because everyone at CMS has an incredible, approachable attitude which really gives insight into the firm's culture.
