    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • The role was very similar to that of a trainee. I was asked to assist lawyers in drafting various documents and proofreading, and had the chance to attend a client call.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • The internship gave me the opportunity to really understand what it is like to be a commercial lawyer. I feel as though I've learned to pay stronger attention to detail and very much developed my commercial awareness.
