    I think it’s purposefully broad and vague. I read it as a property development or construction/planning project that is or has happened recently. The Battersea Power Station development springs to mind. I’d go about it like this: first, have a think about what interests you. This could be...

    Law firm or in-house training contract?

    As others have said, the main question here seems to be whether you want to explore other areas. You may find that is still possible in-house, but it will be trickier depending on the company/situation. I think moving from in-house to private practice is more commonplace than it seems...

    This is an interesting read: https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en/knowledge/publications/1a1abb9f/nfts-and-intellectual-property-rights TLDR; NFTs spring up a lot of copyright debates and IP exploitation that lawyers will be involved in!

    [Ask Me Anything] Using your Law Background in Consulting - A Career in Financial Regulation, Governance, and Risk

    Thanks for your thorough reply! I've done some initial digging and a lot of 'intern' roles are geared towards current students rather than graduates.

    I just received a holding email saying they will get back to everyone by 11 March! But having heard some have progressed I’m not sure it’s great news
