Managing Associate
What was your experience like as a trainee?
“From the beginning I was exposed to active client matters and was invited to join discussions with senior lawyers on substantive matters of law. For instance, I had the chance to look into financial regulatory laws that might be applicable to cryptocurrencies and contribute to the legal analysis for a client. My experience was different from some of my peers who were given monotonous tasks of a more clerical nature. As I embarked upon my traineeship, I continued to work closely with partners and associates, and was provided with continued guidance and clear instructions to prepare me for the challenges inherent in complex legal issues and unfamiliar business settings. ”
"I also valued the fact that partners were willing to invest the time to engage in in-depth discussions and interactions with trainees. The topics were not limited to legal issues encountered in the file, but include commercial considerations, tactical considerations in handling third parties and the firm’s business operations. For client work, I did not simply submit work product and receive brief written comments. I was expected to conduct a comprehensive analysis, to share my proposed approach with partners and to participate in the decision making process to finalize the approach for clients. Through observation, we can contrast our thinking with their perspectives, thereby understanding how we can improve. Overall, our training goes beyond purely acquiring knowledge and work experience by completing tasks, but to sharpen our mind and judgment so we can devise a plan to resolve problems independently."
