I really enjoyed my internship; everyone there was really friendly and welcoming. I learned more about how law firms operated, there are separate departments but they work together on big deals.

I also learned that there is a mixture of solo and teamwork involved whereas before I assumed being a solicitor was a very solitary job. I also got a chance to practice reading statutes and giving legal advice.

Veronica was an intern at Macfarlanes LLP in 2008.
