[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 120622, member: 17155"] Firms will likely value what you show them [I]you[/I] value. These two weeks could be incredibly educational if you throw yourself into them- speak to every person that you're working with, even if it may be uncomfortable putting yourself our there at first. Try to understand who the firm's clients are, what kind of legal issues the firm is generally engaged in solving, the legal techniques and solutions used by the firm's lawyers and how the firm works as a business. This knowledge will be the most transferable to your TC applications at larger firms because you've essentially learnt how to think as a lawyer rather than how to practice law. Ensure you detail your experiences both in applications and interviews and show firms that you made the initiative to find out more about commercial law and are able to apply your knowledge to big and small firms alike.
