Work Experience

• Jun 2019 - Jun 2019

I sat in the Banking team for 3 days. I drafted cover letters for a range of documents from different European jurisdictions and familiarised myself with different legal documents. I found researching ESG particularly interesting. During the research I gained a better understanding of the desirability for companies to consider ESG carefully due to banks lending more favourably to clients with good ESG ratings. One thing that stood out to me was the fact that a company's management of ESG is a key indicator of its ability to deliver long term sustainable growth and good investor relations. Show less
