I enjoyed the freedom to complete tasks that could occur in the real world, giving me practical experience to help me decide on a future career. The examples of how a professional would complete a task were useful to set a benchmark for myself and understand the way in which work is completed at Bird & Bird.

I thoroughly appreciated the program's accessibility and the opportunity to develop a wide range of legal skills. I found the contract clause drafting exercise particularly engaging and valuable. Additionally, the exemplars provided at the conclusion of each task were immensely beneficial in refining my legal writing abilities.

I enjoyed that the simulation felt practical and reflected the type of work a trainee solicitor might carry out. The tasks challenged me to apply legal principles to real-world scenarios, think critically about the facts and consider the commercial implications of my advice, rather than simply recalling the law.
