“In my opinion the summer internship has been a great experience at both, a personal and a professional level. This is as I have not only got an insight into many practice areas which I did not know before, but also into what constitutes the career. Being a great work opportunity, as one was able to rotate between the different practice areas, work with various lawyers and deal with different aspects of the law which we have usually not seen at university. At the same time, I have learned to be challenged every day and I have understood what it means to work in a firm like Brigard Urrutia and finally, to solve real problems which arise in Colombia. Luckily, with Brigard Urrutia I have found a firm which, besides all the prestige, has an undisputable human quality, where everyone is ready to help you and make you feel part of the firm. I therefore think that this is a great opportunity and an experience which everyone should try to expand one’s capacity and learn more about one’s preferences and limits. Without doubt, I would recommend this internship, as it has been one of the most satisfying experiences I have had in my life and which has given me a full understanding of what the practice of law really is.”
