Zyaad Internship Experience With DLG

My name is Zyaad Ameen and I am in my second week of work experience at Desai Law Group. In 2017, I graduated with a BSc in Biomedical Sciences from Imperial College, London and am currently pursuing a Senior Status LLB at Queen Mary, University of London.

In my second and third years of my BSc, I studied modules covering the topics of intellectual property law and patent law in pharmaceuticals and my interest in the legal world was sparked. In the past, I have spent short periods of time at Deutsche Bank in London and South Africa as part of their in-house legal team. Being able to spend six weeks at DLG is an opportunity for me to fully immerse myself in the world of corporate law. I will be spending time in the corporate/commercial department as well as the litigation department, and am looking forward to contributing within the firm and learning more about the practical side of legal work. I hope to gain a true insight into the work that major firms do so that I am able to make informed decisions about my future legal career.
