I began my internship at Ciarb while completing my LLM dissertation, transitioning to full-time upon graduation which was a pivotal moment in my career as a foreign-qualified lawyer. Ciarb provided an invaluable platform to showcase my skills, expand my professional network in the UK, and prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) on my journey to becoming a solicitor. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the supportive PPP team, who ensured I gained meaningful experience, including assisting the Ciarb delegation in preparing for UNCITRAL WG II and WG III meetings in Vienna and observing the sessions via livestream. This experience significantly broadened my understanding of how legislation and soft law are developed, including the incorporation of unconventional provisions into final texts.
