enjoyed that the simulation closely reflected the type of work undertaken by commercial lawyers in real transactions. Rather than answering theoretical questions, I had to review legal documents, identify key issues, make drafting decisions, prepare client memoranda, create completion checklists, and present legal advice in a practical business format.

I really enjoyed how the program provided realistic, hands-on tasks that mirror the daily work of a commercial lawyer. It gave me valuable insight into how legal reasoning, commercial awareness, and client communication come together in practice. I especially appreciated the balance between independent problem-solving and practical exposure to Baker McKenzie’s global, collaborative culture.

The program exposes me to a wide range of corporate projects that I have never experienced at school before and the tasks are really eye-opening as to what a corporate lawyer does every day. The materials provided are very informative and useful. I learnt a lot about the listing rules in Australia and Hong Kong and also brushed up my commercial awareness after participating in the program.
