“Thanks to BU I have had the opportunity to not only understand how the Colombian legal system works, but also how the private sector does. All the lawyers are caring because you are learning something from every project that you are tasked with and you have the opportunity to learn a little bit of everything. I am honestly leaving happy about this experience and the many things that I have learned. Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to get to know the Colombian culture through the other interns and to improve my knowledge of legal Spanish."

“Having spent seven weeks in a law firm I have come to realise that the university lecture halls do not reflect the reality of the legal world. Experiences like the one offered by Brigard Urrutia allow students to form an own opinion about the possibilities and challenges that a career in law has to offer. The immense possibilities for learning, the new and challenging topics and the human quality of the firm have made this experience very unique. Thanks a lot, Brigard Urrutia!”

“The experience at Brigard Urrutia summer internship is unique and unforgettable. For the most of the seven weeks I was very motivated to work with challenging legal topics for a better development of Colombia. Always with a high level of respect and professionalism, Brigard Urrutia has opened the doors for me to make maximum use of my experience as a Brazilian infrastructure and public service regulation lawyer. Besides the professional development, Brigard Urrutia has allowed me to experience an incredible cultural exchange and opened the contact with very kind people who were always happy to help me with anything that I needed. Thanks a lot!”

“Having compared the time the internship lasted with the amount of things that I have learned in this time, I can say that seven weeks seem to be little time. Working at BU has confirmed that hard and continuing work are necessary to reach a level of professional success and prestige. Working with the lawyers has shown me that every activity or work, no matter how small, has to be carried out at a high standard of quality, even if this means the highest possible effort and dedication. Most of the internship I have been working in different teams which has allowed me to understand which areas of law I like the most, but even more importantly, it has shown me the dynamic of a big firm and what it means to work in a team to achieve a common objective. It has also allowed me to get to know many people who were always there to explain something to me or to guide me through my tasks. Furthermore, I have made great friends and got to know exceptional people who have made this experience unique. I can only thank all the other interns and BU for an amazing experience and for all the great memories that I have after this internship.”

“The Brigard Urrutia internship gives the opportunity to experience the law in action: Here you do not only get to deepen your knowledge of the topics covered in university and to create a right litigation strategy, but also to understand how the whole process of achieving a desirable result works, from its very beginning. Each lawyer contributes in a different way to make the internship a unique and enriching experience. The internship is the best space for continuing to learn and making new friends.”

“Before starting the internship, Brigard Urrutia has meant to me: professional perfection and dedication, from what I have heard. After this internship I can give my own opinion about this. The everyday work with extremely talented people has shown many things to me, which one can sum up, by saying that the respect and commitment to the profession result in the quality of work that one has done. I would like to express my esteem to the firm again for everything that it is and what I have already mentioned: My respect for what they do and my gratitude for everything that I have learned during this experience.”
