Reviews

4.6

I really appreciated how practice-oriented this simulation was. The tasks, especially the LOI drafting and the SPA mark-up based on the client’s commercial comments, felt like real-world associate work. It provided a deep insight into the complexities of international M&A and the strategic role of a legal advisor.

I have completed other virtual work experience programmes and I felt the documents I was looking at in the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Job Simulation pushed me to review dense material at pace. I really liked this as it gave me real life, practical experience and made me feel more prepared for working in a fast-paced legal environment.

The program provided a great insight into how international M&A transactions are structured and managed in practice. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to explore the different stages of a cross-border deal and understand the level of collaboration required between legal, financial, and commercial teams.
