Introduction from A&O Shearman

What stood out to me when completing the simulation was how it encouraged me to approach each task not only from a legal perspective, but also from a commercial one. It strengthened my critical thinking skills and taught me how to tailor my advice more effectively, ensuring that the information I provided was clear, concise, and, most importantly, practical and responsive to the client’s concerns.

I appreciated how practical and well-structured the program was. The tasks closely reflected real work carried out in a global law firm, which helped me better understand how legal concepts are applied in practice. The clear instructions and contextual guidance made the experience engaging and accessible, even for someone early in their legal career.

The highlight of the program for me was the focus on commercial awareness. Tasks like the 'Project Prime' term sheet review challenged me to look past just the legal text and consider the strategic implications for the client, such as exclusivity risks and future expansion goals. It was an excellent way to bridge the gap between academic study and professional practice.
