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 the program's progressive and structured approach to e-learning, showcasing a genuine will to encourage prospective trainees. Following one client's issues in this simulation permitted me to understand how Bird & Bird can operate as a one-stop shop for a wide range of intellectual property issues, including contractual drafting and pre-litigation case management.

I enjoyed the simulation because it gave me practical insight into a solicitor’s work and showed me how law is applied to real commercial situations. I particularly enjoyed balancing legal reasoning with the client’s commercial needs, which reinforced my interest in corporate law. It also helped me identify the skills I can highlight in my applications.
