Reviews

I enjoyed the natural experience the program provides, through delegating tasks via email from a senior associate and even providing key terms (with definitions included) that I can use in my legal studies and profession on a daily basis. I gained an insight into the work associates complete at Norton Rose and enjoyed every step of the process with each task.

I thorougly enjoyed the practicality of the job simulation. I found it insightful to experience in real-time what it means to work in an international law firm and how direct and effective they expect feedback to be in negotiations. The time suggestions provided for each task were also very useful in understanding the importance of time management.

The Virtual Experience at Norton Rose Fulbright was both engaging and insightful. The practical, task-based learning allowed me to experience the firm's approach to complex legal issues firsthand. This opportunity furthered my interest in applying for the Vacation Scheme and explore a career with NRF."
