Splendid internship
January 25, 2023by: Christian Sotomayor - United StatesI felt like my internship was extremely unique because not only did I learn a lot with Fernando Fanego at his office, but, he really gave me a hands-on experience by taking me with him to court proceedings and elections for the lawyer society of Madrid. He took me in as his ward and introduced me to countless attornies, businessmen, and people who share a similar mentality of professionalism as we do, which was much appreciated.
