Interview with Adriaan (student intern January-March 2025)

'My name is Adriaan, I am 23 years old and I study law at Leiden University. During January and February '25 I did a student internship at Wintertaling.'

Why an internship at Wintertaling?

'The fact that the internship is office-wide means that in a short time you are introduced to the practice of different areas of law. You are included in cases from moment one and challenged by thinking along in legal issues. In the beginning of your internship it can sometimes be difficult to assess how best to cooperate with the different lawyers. However, the open atmosphere in the office at Wintertaling makes this as easy as possible. Everyone's door is always open to spar about your questions.'

How did you like your internship?

'Working at a law firm has really enthused me to start working as a lawyer myself. In the coming months, I will be busy writing my undergraduate thesis, after which I will pursue a master's degree in civil law. All in all, I can only encourage doing a student internship! It is the perfect way to get an idea of what it is like to work in a law firm in two months. The working atmosphere and the friendly contact with the whole team have made my internship at Wintertaling a time that I look back on with pleasure!'
