Hamza Butt

During the one-week internship in the Property team, I strengthened key skills essential for delivering high-quality legal service, including analytical research, commercial understanding of the real estate sector, and effective communication. I undertook drafting tasks, researched new legislation, and attended meetings with solicitors and barristers discussing ongoing cases. This experience enhanced my ability to navigate complex information, collaborate with professionals, and maintain professionalism when interacting with challenging clients.

Key contributions and development:

• Enhanced research skills through analysing new legislation and summarising key developments.
• Improved drafting accuracy and attention to detail while supporting property-related matters.
• Strengthened teamwork and relationship-building by working closely with legal professionals.
• Gained insight into client-facing challenges, improving my emotional intelligence and adaptability.

Across this week-long programme, I built an understanding of how PwC integrates legal, financial, and advisory expertise. Later in the week, I collaborated with a group of four to analyse a business scenario and pitch an innovative solution tailored to individuals with disabilities. This experience refined skills that PwC values highly—teamwork, creative problem-solving, integrity in decision-making, and a commitment to delivering impactful solutions.

Key skills developed:

• Applied analytical thinking and commercial reasoning when designing accessible VR solutions.
• Strengthened communication through presenting a professional, client-focused proposal.
• Demonstrated adaptability and a growth mindset by working across unfamiliar financial sectors.
• Practised collaboration and inclusive teamwork, reflecting PwC’s focus on working together.
