"I
very much enjoyed my summer here at Zurcher and I learned
an incredible amount about the law in Costa Rica, law under
a civil code, and international business law. The clients
I worked with over the summer included General Electric,
Procter Gamble, and individual real estate investors. It
was very important to the attorneys here at Zurcher that
I be challenged and involved with our clients, and they
were always open to my questions about our work. I drafted
memos, shareholder´s agreements, client letters, and
had the opportunity to jointly prepare a memo for lawyers
in the US on Costa Rican law, with a Costa Rican law student
and an attorney. With attorneys at Zurcher, I coordinated
discussions of issues with clients and participated in internal
meetings and meetings with clients and on behalf of clients.
My Spanish improved
astronomically, as I was constantly translating concepts
back and forth from English to Spanish. It was a great privilege
to have the opportunity to work with the dedicated attorneys,
paralegals, and staff at Zurcher, and to learn about a different
legal system from the practitioner standpoint." |
