As a first year lawyer, I work closely with my supervisor on a wide range of matters on a broad amount of legal issues. I usually review and/or draft documentation, correspond with clients and other counsel and engage with pro bono work.
In my day-to-day routine, I get to complete real legal work (not just administrative tasks) such as legal research and drafting, as well as gaining high-level client exposure through client meetings and seminars.
As a graduate lawyer, I assist the team with everything from proof reading to more challenging tasks such as drafting advice emails, reviewing non-disclosure agreements/technology sourcing contracts/privacy policies.
