The simulation offered fantastic practical insights into commercial legal work. I particularly enjoyed drafting contract clauses for climate change initiatives and conducting legal risk assessments for AI technology. It felt very realistic and clearly showcased the high level of work done at Clyde & Co.

Reviews
I liked the opportunity to see and perform tasks that would naturally take place in a work environment like Clyde & Co. It was challenging in a good way, and motivated me to keep going and taking note of improvements I could make when drafting documents or creating presentations. This was a beneficial and immersive experience.
This program gave me an insight to tasks that I could be given whilst working at Clyde & Co, which I value as I currently have not been able to get legal experience otherwise. I think this is a great way for law students, and especially non-law students looking to get into the legal sector, to understand what it means to work across different sectors within the legal sector.
