“The summer internship of Brigard Urrutia allowed me to witness the practical exercise of law from a framework of excellence, respect, good treatment and teamwork, values which make this the best experience to learn and grow as a lawyer and as a person. The legal quality, kindness, disposition of each person in the firm is recorded in me along with the countless lessons received. I only have words of thanks for allowing me to be part of this experience."
"Although it happened too quickly, this summer internship was a unique opportunity to challenge my intellectual ability and to show me what I am truly capable of. I think it is a very good way to start the professional exercise and I am much honored to have belonged to the group of interns this year. It was an experience that exceeded my expectations, I discovered the reality, one that was different from the one I had in mind and I must say that I felt comfortable and at the same time challenged to always give more and go further. I discovered new areas and new interests that I did not know existed and for that I am grateful. All this thanks to the experience and human quality of the professionals that make up this firm.”
“Brigard Urrutia's summer internship was my first experience in a law firm, and the challenge was double because in my case it involved an internship in a country and a city that I did not know. This internship exceeded all my expectations. I learned a lot, I discovered a new culture and the work environment of a leading firm in Colombia, I met very professional people, always willing to help me with any questions and teach me about new aspects of law. I will return not only with valuable professional connections, but with friends from Colombia and the world. I sincerely thank everyone for this incomparable opportunity and I am left with only one idea: to return as soon as possible to Colombia!”
"I am very proud to say that I was part of the summer internship at BU. I came with many expectations and the internship surpassed them by far. All the lawyers were very friendly and treated me with a lot of respect. The work was challenging, but very interesting and I learned a lot during the course of the internship. It was a pleasure to start my legal career in Colombia, a country that I consider my second place. Thanks to everyone who made this experience so incredible. I will always be grateful for the opportunity and I hope to keep in touch, professionally and personally."
"I feel like I belong here in BU. The Summer Internship was unforgettable and I loved the whole experience. My projects gave me a high level of responsibility, I learned a lot, I met many new friends and I enjoyed my time in this firm. I look forward to going back to Bogotá, a city that I love, and working with BU again. This experience was a big part of my career as a lawyer and my ability to speak Spanish. I thank all the friendly attorneys who helped me in this process. They say that the success of a company comes from its people. BU is the best firm in the country for its talented and pleasant people. Thank you for choosing me to be part of this good firm and I will never forget the Internship."
“I will always be grateful for the opportunity to work in the legal profession in another country. Everyone in the firm showed great kindness and cared for me. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to have met each one of them. I would tell other foreign colleagues not to worry about their Spanish skills, instead make friends and connections. I think if I had been less concerned with my inability to speak Spanish and more involved in knowing the wonderful people around me, my experience would have been much better.”
