At Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer, our Global Litigation team advises multinational corporations, financial institutions, governments and investors on some of the most complex, high-profile and business-critical disputes around the world.
Commercial disputes can arise from many areas of business, including contracts, corporate transactions, regulatory investigations, cyber incidents, competition matters, ESG-related claims and emerging technologies. When challenges arise, disputes lawyers must understand the facts, assess competing arguments and help clients identify practical solutions that support their wider commercial objectives.
In this job simulation, you will experience different stages of a commercial dispute and some of the work undertaken by junior lawyers in a leading global disputes practice. As the matter develops, you will:
- analyse the facts and competing positions in a technology dispute
- assess the legal and commercial options available to the client
- prepare clear communications for the client and supervising partner
- support preparation for an important client meeting
- develop a commercially focused settlement proposal
You do not need previous legal knowledge to complete the simulation. The tasks are designed to develop your analytical thinking, problem-solving, communication and commercial awareness. Supporting materials will help you understand the legal concepts you encounter along the way.
