“This summer internship has left a positive retrospection in my perception of it: I went through the doors of BU –BC being convinced that I will experience the biggest personal growth in a short period of time of only seven weeks. The programme has been a unique experience for me, which allowed me to increase my abilities and to participate in high-impact projects together with teams of high renown and an unparalleled portfolio of tasks, while the work environment has always been aimed at excellence and discipline, but also respect. Each day meant a new intellectual challenge with a deep insight into legal work, allowing me to fully develop an integral profile which every law student should have. I am leaving the internship with great memories, satisfaction for the achieved goals and thankfulness for the firm, whose humanistic orientation has been the guiding light for the treatment of all of its members. Thanks for opening the doors for me on this programme.”

“Working at Brigard Urrutia has opened the doors to a new world for me. In this time I have seen how certain goals which I have had at the beginning of my career were finally forming themselves. I was able to access advanced areas of knowledge and learn from brilliant people. Furthermore, one of the things which I have taken with me from this experience is that in order to achieve great things you have to take a risk for doing them. Therefore, I have finished this experience with the motivation to continue growing.”

“The summer internship has been everything I have imagined it to be and even more. Without doubt, it has been a great experience which has brought the real world of high-level litigation closer to me, as I have been working with very bright lawyers who had a lot to show me and were very willing to do so. Because of all this, at the end of the internship I was a very different person compared to who I was before, with way more clarity as to what I want to achieve in my professional life and, having gotten to know the internal dynamic of the most important legal firm in the country, I have no doubt that this is a law firm that I would like to work at.”

“Being an intern at Brigard Urrutia has been a very enriching experience. In the first place, I have had the opportunity of working in various practice areas, like e.g. Corporate, Banking and Customs. I have had the opportunity to see how the different areas are interlinked, which made it all even more interesting. The lawyers with whom I have worked have always been happy to help me. The office culture is a very friendly one and no question was considered irrelevant, as the lawyers have been patient whenever resolving my doubts.”

“Having the opportunity to participate in the summer internship of Brigard Urrutia has been one of the best experiences in my entire life. The time that I have spent here has exceeded all my expectations, as I have had the possibility to work and get to know different areas of the law, but also to work alongside the lawyers and see what the profession is really like. I am convinced that this experience will help me in both, my professional and personal life. I have really learned a lot of new things and have discovered certain areas of the law, which I did not know I would like. I would have enjoyed if the internship had lasted longer, but above all I would like to express my sincerest gratefulness for the opportunity that I have been given.”
