About the Company
This Module gives learners the chance to step directly into the role of a junior lawyer and experience the real-world demands of legal practice. Instead of theory, participants work through live client scenarios, colleague interactions, and drafting tasks that reflect the daily responsibilities inside a professional law firm.
With audio voice simulations, realistic case files, and guided assignments, learners gain hands-on exposure to communication, client interviewing, problem-solving, negotiation, and legal drafting - skills that are essential for anyone aspiring to work effectively in the legal profession.

Bridging the gap
New lawyers often enter the profession with strong academic knowledge but limited practical experience in managing clients, extracting facts, communicating professionally, or drafting coherent legal documents.
This Module bridges that gap by giving learners a safe, structured environment to practise these foundational skills before entering real legal settings. Through immersive simulations and guided tasks, the program helps learners overcome common challenges such as handling nervous clients, structuring interviews, clarifying unclear details, managing time-pressured conversations, and writing professional notes, ultimately preparing them for the realities of legal practice.

Expected output
Participants will complete a series of practical deliverables that mirror the workflow of a law firm, including a professional communication brief, a client intake summary, structured interview notes, a legal problem-definition exercise, a client advisory memo, a negotiation preparation sheet, and drafted legal documents such as letters, clauses, or short agreements.
Each deliverable is tied to a realistic case scenario or AI simulation and is evaluated on clarity, structure, professionalism, and application of legal skills - giving learners a tangible portfolio of work that demonstrates their readiness for practical legal roles.

What you’ll need before starting
Learners should have a basic understanding of legal terminology, strong written communication skills, and a willingness to engage actively in simulations and scenario-based tasks.
An interest in client-facing legal work; such as litigation, dispute resolution, corporate advisory, or legal drafting, will help learners get the most out of the experience.
Access to a device that supports audio interactions (for voice simulations) is recommended to fully benefit from the immersive components of the Module.
