“Without doubt, the summer internship has been the best entry into the world of work and it has developed into a great source of knowledge, experience and absorption of values and attitudes. The Discipline, perfection and human quality of all members of the firm have provided me with a sufficient incentive to grow day by day as a lawyer and a person. Thanks a lot for this opportunity which has surely been one of the best experiences in my life.”

“I arrived at BU and in Colombia not really knowing what to expect. Even though I have worked in law firms in the US, working abroad has been a new experience for me. It has been satisfying to find such a professional law firm which allowed me to have a great experience over the summer. Furthermore, as BU is in Bogota´s, Colombia, I have had the opportunity of getting to know the capital city, its cultural richness and I have been able to share this experience with people who have earned a special place in my heart. Working for Brigard Urrutia has been one of the best decisions that I have ever taken for my professional career and my life.”

“I have made great friendships and have experienced great things in these seven weeks which surprise me with the speed that they have passed. Looking at the first day in retrospective, comparing myself as I am today with me when I started the internship, fills me with pride. I am immensely grateful to this firm for what it has offered me way more than I could have offered in exchange. My sincerest thank-you to the entire team who has made this experience unforgettable. I am looking forward to return there.”

“Having finished the summer internship at BU I only have words of gratefulness and profound admiration for the human quality, the excellence, the professionalism and the dedication of every single one of the people who make up this big family. Every day of the internship has meant the opportunity to learn new things. Every day brought a new challenge and thus a new opportunity to give one’s best. Without doubt, these 7 weeks of work alongside the best lawyers of the country have turned me into a better law professional, who is able to address any challenge in the best possible way, always searching for excellence. Thank you, BU.”

“Being part of the Brigard Urrutia summer internship programme has been an experience which has allowed me to learn more, not just about academic topics, but also about my own capacities. During these seven weeks I have gotten to know myself in a work-environment and to enrich my social skills, to understand their importance and to understand which type of lawyer I would like to be. Likewise, I can state the understanding of the importance of excellence. I am immensely grateful for this marvellous experience, where I have gotten to know extraordinary people and where I have understood that my profession gives me more passion than I would have thought. I am absolutely sure that my former self at the stage of application is not the same person, as the one who is now finishing said internship with great memories of one of the best experiences in her life. Again, I can only express my sincerest gratitude to all the people who have made these past seven weeks an unforgettable and immensely enriching academic and personal experience.”
