Legal Work Experience
- January 2022 - SpringPod
Here, I completed a two-week online legal course held during the Covid-19 period, involving interactive tasks and video sessions delivered by legal practitioners. I developed key skills in advocacy, client communication, contractual interpretation, legal analysis, and drafting. This experience strengthened my understanding of core legal principles and enhanced my confidence in engaging with practical legal work.
- February 2022 - Clifford Chance
Here, I participated in an online work experience day, gaining valuable insight into the legal profession and the culture of a leading international law firm. I engaged with current law students and trainees to learn about different career pathways, the structure of corporate legal work, and the areas of law they found most rewarding. This experience strengthened my interest in pursuing in corporate law.
