I liked that the simulation felt practical, realistic, and genuinely close to what a junior associate or trainee would face in a real cybersecurity matter. It wasn’t just theoretical law — it pushed me to think like counsel responding under pressure, with incomplete information, tight timelines, and a client expecting clarity.

I really appreciated the practical, real-world context of handling a cybersecurity breach for a top-tier EU data centre. It provided great hands-on experience in balancing GDPR compliance, trade secrets protection under EU law, and contractual risk allocation between data controllers and processors.

I appreciated how the Clifford Chance Virtual Internship provided practical insights into complex legal issues, particularly within emerging fields like technology and digital assets. The program’s interactive format helped me understand real-world legal scenarios, giving me a deeper appreciation for the firm’s global approach and commitment to innovation in the legal industry.
