Litigation Intern

July - August 2019 • Hong Kong, Hong Kong

What I liked

I loved the hard-driving work culture, which was incredibly competitive in a wholesome manner. I truly felt like I was part of a team, and I felt comfortable contributing my ideas and opinions. The partner that I worked with made it clear that by bringing me on board, he felt an obligation to take me under his wing, and I truly felt that he was looking out for me and had my best interests in mind.

What I wish was different

The only thing that could have made it any better was if I had a corner office!

Advice
