LIFT Intern Review

During the one-week insight programme, my main focus was a clinical negligence real-life simulation. Each day, I reviewed the case materials, researched relevant case law, and analysed the key issues using LexisNexis. I worked closely with my group to discuss our findings, agree on a strategy, and prepare a clear, structured response to the scenario.
The programme also included skills sessions and group workshops where we shared our analysis and refined our approach based on feedback. Overall, my day-to-day work involved breaking down the problem, carrying out targeted research, and applying practical legal reasoning to reach a well-supported conclusion.

Yes, I was given a meaningful level of responsibility throughout the programme. Even though it was a short insight week, I was expected to independently analyse the clinical negligence scenario, research relevant case law, and contribute my findings to the group. I also took responsibility for helping shape our team’s approach and ensuring our final response was well-reasoned and clearly presented.

Yes, I developed several skills during the programme. Working on the clinical negligence simulation strengthened my legal research and case analysis skills, especially using LexisNexis more efficiently. I also improved my ability to break down complex facts, spot key issues quickly, and present my reasoning clearly.
The group work helped me build my communication and teamwork skills, particularly when discussing different views and agreeing on a final approach.

I received a good level of support and guidance throughout the programme. We worked on the clinical negligence exercise in groups, which made it easy to share ideas and support one another. The facilitators were approachable, offered helpful direction when needed, and were always available to answer questions.

The company culture felt welcoming and supportive. Everyone we interacted with was approachable, open, and genuinely interested in helping us learn. The atmosphere during the workshops and webinars was relaxed but professional, and we were encouraged to ask questions and share our views.

I really enjoyed the programme. The clinical negligence simulation was engaging, and the group work made the experience collaborative and enjoyable. The webinars were also insightful and helped me understand the firm’s work and culture better.
