Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sad_Old_Grad" data-source="post: 189610" data-attributes="member: 38040">Hi there, [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] , I am currently working on my <a href="https://directory.thecorporatelawacademy.com/profile/clifford-chance.1" target="_blank">Clifford Chance</a> application and have really struggled with the work experience section. I don't suppose you would mind providing me with some advice/feedback on the following couple of examples I have included? Thank you!Role (junior legal assistant, non-UK organisation].I liaised with foreign publications, museums, and archives to ensure the legal use of their materials in [organisation's] online resources. Drafting contractual agreements related to international copyright law provided me with first-hand experience in ensuring compliance with legal standards while navigating uncertain international legal issues across multiple languages. I was responsible for maximising the volume of material obtained at the most cost-effective rates, while ensuring all acquisitions were legally sound. This often involved extensive communication, as I needed to identify the rightful copyright holders, which was not always straightforward. In some cases, the relevant rights were held by private individuals rather than the associated museum or publication, necessitating careful investigation, followed by negotiations to ensure that our compensation and usage agreements aligned with the copyright holder’s expectations.Role (intern)I assisted a solicitor on a number of (primarily pro-bono) competition law cases. My role involved providing support to litigants in person by understanding the clients’ needs before advising them on which arguments to present at tribunals and the best techniques to observe during a cross-examination. This was underpinned by preparatory work in the form of legal research (finding relevant case law and using it for the construction of initial arguments) and assembling bundles. The work equipped me with essential client-facing skills, a meticulous approach to legal research, an appreciation of the importance of detail in complex legal matters, insights into the practicalities of dealing with actual legal cases, the skills to assume prime responsibility for the quality and content of my work, and a more thorough understanding of competition law. The main case in which I assisted involved a claim brought by the client against a wholesale supplier under the Competition Act 1998. My responsibilities included, inter alia, researching whether the terms and conditions attached to an invoice amounted to a Selective Distribution Agreement (SDA) and whether prohibiting sales through channels such as a second website without an SDA might be viewed as a hard-core restriction. The process resulted in a favourable outcome for the client, with the Tribunal finding unanimously that the supplier’s distribution system lacked transparency and employed some quantitative criteria, applied in a discriminatory manner</blockquote>
