“Over the years, the «Law Is Awesome!» project has complemented students’ academic experience with practical experience and has accompanied over 150 enthusiastic young people in preparing for the career they had been dreaming of. Students learn and practice the skills necessary for a business lawyer, regardless of the area in which they practice, and get acquainted with state-of-the-art technological solutions in the field of law. It’s not just about skills specific to the «traditional» lawyer, related to hard skills (such as performing research, structuring legal advice, negotiating a contract, conducting a legal due diligence), but also about soft skills, networking skills and positioning their future candidacy in the law market. Human resources specialists involved in the recruitment process will teach them how to build, starting from the university years, a professional profile on LinkedIn, how to prepare their CV, what are the ingredients of a successful interview and what makes the difference in a selection process for a position as a trainee lawyer. Also, the meetings we organize with businessmen very appreciated, as students find out from them how they would like the client-lawyer relationship to unfold”, said Andreea Serban, lawyer at Reff & Associates | Deloitte Legal, initiator and coordinator of the “Law Is Awesome!” project.
