I enjoyed how the simulation gave a practical insight into the type of work Bird & Bird completes. From the perspective of someone who has not studied law before, the simulation provides sufficient support which prevents the tasks from feeling overwhelming. But these resources also enable you to research in an engaging and challenging way.

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.

I enjoyed the practical, real-world approach to intellectual property law. The simulation provided a clear insight into how patent infringement matters are assessed in practice, from reviewing patent claims and ownership details to analysing validity and advising a client on strategic options. It was engaging, realistic, and helped develop both legal research and commercial awareness skills.
