Summary
I recently participated in Clifford Chance's Job Simulation on the Forage platform, and it was incredibly useful to understand what it might be like to participate in a Law team at Clifford Chance. I practiced reviewing different queries from clients in a realistic context to learn more about what working in the law industry entails. Doing this program confirmed that I really enjoy working on tasks related to different types of law and I'm excited to apply these skills in a law team at a company like Clifford Chance.
