[QUOTE="lawnoob, post: 112913, member: 9815"] Hi [USER=20454]@j.s.cox[/USER], I really appreciate you taking your time to answer this thread. I actually never knew you could just ask to shadow someone to gain work experience. I think this is a fantastic way to get more experience that I hadn't thought about before. I would love to know more about doing this, if you're happy to elaborate a little bit about it here or maybe I can shoot you a message? Such as length of time you spent shadowing one client, kind of how you approached them, and what the shadowing entailed? Did they give you any work or was it more so kind of following around? I wanted to explore consulting as I know consulting firms operate quite similarly in terms of working with clients and meeting demands but more focused on the business concept. I'm looking to read some consulting books before I set my mind in whether I want to gain some experience at a consulting firm. And I do think even if I don't enjoy consulting, it can make me a better lawyer by gaining hands-on commercial awareness. Though now that you mention, I think shadowing might be a better alternative rather than a month long internship. Would love to hear more about your experience shadowing :) [/QUOTE]
