Upon learning that Pinsent Masons’ 2020 Dublin summer internship was being held virtually rather than the usual in-office experience, I was concerned it may be a less valuable experience. This was partly due to the lack of personal interaction of that forms the usual programme.
Let’s set the scene, it’s 9am on Monday the 1st July and I’m sitting in a conference room with two fellow interns receiving IT training via video link from a colleague in Johannesburg. You would be forgiven in mistaking Pinsent Masons as a Tech firm – it’s futuristic and like nowhere I’ve worked before.
‘Take the law into our own hands.’ I still remember the spark within me when I first heard that slogan at the Pinsent Masons open day. It guided me through A Levels, law school and interviews, giving me a sense of purpose and reminding me that I could make an impact. Four years later, I’m working as a summer intern for the very firm that fuelled my ambition to practise law.
