Internship feedback

Anastasia, 3rd year law student at St. Petersburg State University

I went through an internship at CLS for about two months and it was great consulting work experience. To start, it should be noted that this was my first internship. I did not have work experience, but was very eager to get it. Having thoroughly studied information about Capital Legal Services, I understood that the Intellectual Property practice in the firm was exactly the place where I wanted to work.

Firstly, CLS is a major law firm in St. Petersburg, and it is best to learn only from the top professionals. Secondly, the company has a clear internship program and explicit details of the interview stages. After looking through the CLS client list, I decided to go there!

My expectations were met to the fullest extent. The first impression of the office was that everything was made for the employees’ comfort. Every person I had contact with was friendly, and the work climate was very warm. I was lucky as regards my colleagues in the IP department. They were ready to teach me everything, were patient with my blunders and always gave me interesting tasks.

I want to specially note that there was no boredom at work with routine clerical tasks. I was preparing draft letters for our foreign clients and colleagues, researching court practice, preparing documents for registering trademarks and assisting with drawing up commercial proposals to potential clients and performing many other tasks.

This internship gave me much, I learned about work with intellectual property as I would never have learned from books. I learned to properly draw up documents, as the company sets high standards for document preparation. I have become more attentive to details and acquired teamwork skills

If you are ready to learn, ready for high requirements and ready to adequately take criticism, this is the place for you. This internship is not for those who want to merely pass it for the sake of appearance and in hopes of sitting on the sidelines. Here you really have to go all out, but this experience is worth it.

 

Maria, 3rd year law student at Higher School of Economics

Recently I was lucky to go through an internship at Capital Legal Services. I can say for sure that I have the best impression from this law firm. All employees are very polite, friendly and good-natured, which creates a unique atmosphere in the company. From the first days of work, I felt like I was part of the team. It is worth mentioning the professionalism and commitment of the CLS employees to results. Being surrounded by ambitious specialists, I got enormous motivation to improve myself.

I also appreciate the human qualities of the employees. They are all kind, interesting and multi-faceted people with a great sense of humor due, and with them office work does not seem boring and monotonous.

The corporate culture is very developed; birthday greetings are always warm, and there are regular teambuilding events. The office is located in St. Petersburg’s historical center. It is very comfortable and modern. As to work, there is a lot of it as in all legal consulting, though all projects are quite interesting and expand your professional horizons.
