I have worked at HPP for almost four years, first as a Junior Trainee, then as a Legal Trainee and finally as a Associate Trainee. Currently, I’m working as an Senior Associate lawyer in the Competition team.
During my internship, I got to participate in numerous interesting assignments and delve deeper into the fields of law that I’m particularly fascinated by. My professional skills improved substantially through various investigation tasks, translations and drafting of documents. In addition, I got even better at scheduling and organizing as well as managing pressure.
It was great to notice how responsibility and the difficulty level of the tasks given clearly increased as the internships progressed. Throughout the internships, I repeatedly received feedback, instructions and help from lawyers, which are immeasurably important in terms of the practical work of a lawyer, and which have been of great benefit in my development as an intern and later as a lawyer. The internships thus provided a sound basis for the future.
Currently, as a Senior Associate lawyer, my tasks include not only competition law issues, but also pharmaceutical and healthcare law. I ended up working with these fields of law due to the interest that arose during my internships, when I got to solve various questions related to these topics. Working at HPP as an intern has thus, in addition to teaching me how to be a lawyer, helped me to discover the fields of law that I’m interested in from numerous possibilities.
