Research, drafting documents, attending meetings
Mostly paralegal research, memo writing, some basic advice drafting. A fair amount of document review and indexes.
I am very satisfied with the varierty of work I am getting in my team! I have not worked in any other teams however.
In my current team, there is a lot of diverse and interesting tasks that get me thinking beyond just commercial law.
I am given many opportunities
Lots of client contact and responsibility
I have a variety of day-to-day responsibilities, depending on the matters at hand. My responsibilities have ranged from giving at first attempt at advising clients to more menial tasks such as note taking.
Supporting lawyers and Partners by preparing documents, conducting research, drafting corresspondence and providing ad hoc support as required.
I have had the opportunity to get involved with lots of interesting research tasks, drafting of contract and policies and in preparing for court cases.
Legal research, discovery, briefs to counsel and expert, document review
I am a first year lawyer, my day to day responsibilities include conducting research, drafting memorandums of advice or emails, drafting documents and contracts, drafting corporate governance documents and shadowing senior lawyer.
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.
I have significant responsibilities despite being a junior lawyer. I speak to clients and counsel on a daily basis and am responsible for progressing my matters.
A majority of my day consists of conducting discrete research, drafting memos of advice and court documents.
Fantastic opportunities every day
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 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.
