WHY

DO I LIKE LAW?

It is the combination of problem-solving with the feeling of having had a positive impact on someone or on their projects that animates me the most in law.

WHY LRMM?

THE FIRM’S MULTICULTURAL IDENTITY ATTRACTED ME.

Just by reading the blog, I knew that the firm was genuinely committed to training its students in a congenial, stimulating and value-conscious environment. My meetings with the lawyers only confirmed it!

MY WORD
OF ENCOURAGEMENT
FOR YOU

Be yourself and stay confident. Surround yourself with good people and do not compare yourself with your peers: we each have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is normal that the successes and failures of others do not necessarily mirror yours!

MY EXPERIENCE DURING THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS

THE COURSE AUX STAGES OPENED MY EYES TO CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE CORPORATE WORLD.

The course aux stages was a difficult and trying period, but it opened my eyes to certain aspects of the corporate world in general which were previously unknown to me. I learned to be more relaxed and confident, and most importantly, I realized that employers are not looking for robots! Showing your personality is an asset, and even a necessity in the professional world.

UNFORGETTABLE
MOMENT

An atypical interview question.

During my second interview, one of the lawyers on the recruitment committee, knowing that I was passionate about literature, asked me which author, dead or alive, I would have liked to have a conversation with. This was my favourite question of the whole Course aux stages process, as it showed a real interest in me and my passions. That was the trigger, my choice was made: LRMM!
