Overview
Conducted legal tasks including drafting, summarising and performing in dept-legal research by conducting and interpreting different legislation. Proofread documents ensuring quality and accuracy by checking grammar and spelling errors. Expanded my commercial awareness day to day by engaging with different members of the firm in different areas.
Skills
I was able to enhance my soft skills e.i. legal writing skills, legal research, drafting, etc. It was a great opportunity to be in a new environment and challenge myself to be outside my comfort zone, speak to new people and learn new things!
Business Insight
It is nice to emerge yourself in the firm and culture and see for yourself how the firm's ethos works in practice.
Culture
People are open and friendly willing to converse with you and answer any questions you might have as an intern - whether is about the firm in general or career wise.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend anyone that has the opportunity to do it to try it out.
Yes
Know the firm. Learn about the culture and the values of the firm! Do not be afraid to ask questions and be yourself!
