Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked across 2 practice areas and completed tasks throughout both days. I also participated in a group exercise where I had to present a pitch to a client. The atmosphere was very warm and collaborative; it was great to work with my supervisors to complete the tasks and gain a real insight into life at Dentons. My favorite part was getting a better understanding of the inclusive and diverse culture at Dentons. It was truly enjoyable!
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes- I was asked to draft emails to clients and research specific provisions to then convey to clients.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I learnt a lot of new skills. In particular, I learned the need to consider a client's needs, goals, and future business aspirations when conveying any information. I enjoyed comprehending legislation and regulations that shape the way businesses function. It was great to experience areas of law that I had never come across; I certainly understood the importance of having a keen eye for detail when embarking on any new projects- it is important to understand which information is relevant and irrelevant.
