[QUOTE="LEL, post: 90262, member: 6698"] Hi :) many firms will have practice area-specific events, e.g. HSF did a few presentations in corporate and disputes, most of which require no application so I'd definitely recommend attending those. They usually have lawyers talking about their day-to-day tasks, specific cases they've worked on (which also helps in seeing how all the departments interlink on a given deal). Otherwise, many firms have now started to create their own virtual internships on Forage ([URL]https://www.theforage.com/[/URL]) - I've seen so many practice areas from corporate M&A, project finance, disputes, white collar, so it would be great to work through those at your own pace, see the typical tasks that you'd do as a lawyer in that department and then decide whether you enjoy it or not. That's how I got started :) Hope these tips help! Let me know if you have other questions :) [/QUOTE]
