Internship Review at Nabarro

The Role

Role Description

From day one I was an integral part of the Property team. I was encouraged to take on as much responsibility as I wanted and was always encouraged to push myself. My work varied greatly, from more administrative tasks, to drafting contracts and agreements and to research on areas of law which were completely foreign to me. On top of this there was Project Nabarro which was an assessed task which ran throughout the three weeks which included presentations, meetings culminating in a final written task.
