    "I feel so satisfied of myself that i took this opportunity to improve my analytical and research skills"-- Student from Prince Sultan University
    "I liked how they also provided the model answer so I could look and reflect and potentially add to my response. It also enabled me to understand the form and structure that was expected."-- Student from Swansea University
    "The feedback on the tasks were of good quality. It displayed the real life practicality of how you would conduct yourselves with clients and not answer the tasks like a student preparing for an exam."-- Student
    "I found the model answers/templates incredibly helpful in guiding my research and helping me to accelerate through complex areas of law that I had little prior experience in with ease. The variety of tasks included was also incredibly enjoyable. Thank you - I would truly love to come back to your team as a trainee!"-- Student from My institution is not listed
    "Very helpful and insightful programme. I would strongly recommend students to have a go as it will benefit them greatly. This programme helped me decide whether Ashurst was the right law firm for me to start my legal career."-- Student from University of Dundee

    This job simulation will give you an insight into the type of work done by Ashurst's Intellectual Property and Competition Law teams. In this job simulation you will be introduced to the concepts of patents and copyright in the context of a commercial joint venture, before focusing on a specific issue that arises regularly in the real world: when partners work together to produce new technology, who owns the resulting intellectual property?

    You will also be introduced to the Competition Law practice and the concept of an unannounced dawn raid by the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). In particular, it focuses on search warrants, shadowing CMA investigators during a raid and privilege claims available to the client in relation to the documents which are the subject of the CMA investigation.
