Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The Business of Law week is an award winning program for all the right reasons! The innovation, organization and effort put into providing future trainees insights into the future-facing firm that is CMS, is truly incredible. Being an internal applicant, I did not realize how much more there was to discover about the firm. I am grateful for everything I learned about CMS in the last week as I hope to carry it forward in my two-week internship. Additionally, I am certain that the skills I developed will make a potential training contract with CMS an exciting opportunity to look forward to!
