I really liked how the program mirrored real-life legal work, with tasks that built logically on each other across M&A, banking & finance, disputes, and pro bono. The scenarios felt realistic, client-focused, and practical, giving a genuine sense of what it would be like to work in a commercial law firm.

Quite honestly I felt very lost in my understanding of what day-to-day tasks of lawyers and those in legal fields really were, and I felt the hypothetical scenarios gave me a lot of information about what these tasks actually look like, as well as what tasks I could expect at different stages of my career in companies like Allens.

I liked how the program provided tasks that would be associated with a job at Allens on a day-to-day basis in regard to commercial law. It demonstrates how different the tasks can be from what is taught at university. I strongly encourage university students to complete Allens virtual internships. It is a great way to build your skills.
