Part-time Legal Intern

• Jan 2016 - Feb 2016

Undertook research assignments on diverse matters (relating to arbitrations, ECS transactions, applicability of International conventions and protocols, family law mediations and negotiations), edited/drafted contractual and other legal documents, and actively participated in brainstorming sessions, client meetings, briefings and internal presentations. Throughout the internship, the importance of communication skills (active listening, working with empathy and managing expectations), while dealing with clients, was constantly reinforced. Was continually challenged to overcome my own biases and emotional attributions during meetings and presentations. Was encouraged to innovative techniques and out of the box strategies while dealing with tough legal problems. Time management was the key as my university lectures and dissertation research ran alongside the internship.

Actively assisted in many research projects (applicability of PNJ, burden and standard of proof in arbitral proceedings, mode and effect of novation in contracts) and was closely involved in evaluating and drafting contracts.Was tasked with the filing and data organisation/analysis of a large volume of documents, in preparation for an upcoming case. Learnt a great deal about team work and working with precision under pressure. As a team, we were able to complete the task, ahead of schedule. Found ways to collaborate and increase the efficiency of the process by implementing improved and novel strategies. One of the things that stood out was a meeting, where the "why" of the project was explained. This brought meaning and motivation to the work.
