The simulation was highly practical and closely reflected real legal and commercial work, particularly in structuring advice and identifying key risks in transactions. It helped develop my ability to analyse complex issues and communicate them clearly in a professional format. The step-by-step tasks were engaging and improved my understanding of how legal teams support real deals.

Extremely in depth explanations and briefs given for each task which not only simulated real-life client work but also ensured I was learning throughout the process. I feel this gave me a deeper understanding of the work Clifford Chance does as well as the confidence in understanding that finance and law are not so daunting!

I found it invaluable to see the model answers prepared by the Clifford Chance team. Reviewing their approach helped me confirm that my own reasoning and drafting were on the right track, which gave me greater confidence in my analytical skills. It was particularly helpful to compare my work with real examples of how a leading firm advises clients on complex financing transactions.
