''It has been incredibly insightful and enjoyable working here at Mourant, everyone has been so welcoming and eager to help me learn.
I have also had the opportunity to do some behind the scenes work on real client matters which has been truly rewarding, as well as gaining insight into the day-to-day tasks of corporate law. I can't wait to come back next summer for my second placement."
