This Summer Internship experience is turning out to be an adventure!
From day one, we were given a great sense of commitment and responsibility. In this short but rich space of time I have learned a lot. With each passing day, I’m starting to understand more about the daily life of a lawyer.
In addition to meeting and contacting excellent professionals, I am also making new friends. The internship is being the perfect symbiosis of professional and personal growth!
The adventure is still halfway through and a certain nostalgia is already in the air. I went in with the confidence that it would be three weeks of a lot of growth, and yes, I was absolutely right. It’s time to say: what a great summer !

During this experience I had the opportunity to see up close the practical work in a law firm, which really surprised me. In addition to being able to follow the day-to-day of a lawyer, I was able to witness a true team spirit, which helped me to affirm that law is the best choice for me. I leave this experience extremely grateful for all the learning and advice.

This internship has been very enriching, both professionally and personally. We are constantly faced with new challenges, which translate into unique opportunities to acquire new knowledge. Given the demands of today and the values that characterize society, we are encouraged to think outside the box and to see Law in a pragmatic and innovative perspective.
I also highlight the welcoming atmosphere and the team spirit they cultivate, which has facilitated my integration and contact with all professionals.
I leave here certainly enriched and with a clearer vision of what I want for my professional future!
Catherine
FDUP
My first week experience was a mixture of sensations and emotions. I had the opportunity to have contact with subjects I had never studied, from intellectual property to crypto assets.
This (co)living has allowed me to grow and develop my legal and non-legal “I”, forming my identity and discovering the professional I want to be.

Interning at Cerejeira Namora, Marinho Falcão has been extremely challenging. I often find myself appreciating the excellent choice I made in opting for a Law Degree, as well as in applying for this Summer Internship. The professionalism and competence of the team are inspiring and examples to follow, they welcomed us with open arms and were always available. The themes worked on have been the perfect combination of challenging, interesting and appropriate, where only as a team we can overcome them. My colleagues have been an exceptional addition to this experience and I can learn from each one of them something that I intend to keep in mind throughout my life. With all this, I can only thank you for the opportunity given to me, for the follow-up and for the wonderful people I will take with me.

This has been an enriching experience both professionally and socially. Having the opportunity to acquire new knowledge by contacting several lawyers specialized in different areas and getting to know the dynamism and solidarity that predominates in this team will undoubtedly be the particularities that I highlight most along this journey.
Rita
FDUP
My summer internship has been a very enriching and remarkable experience. In addition to having a welcoming work environment, we have the opportunity to be in contact with practical reality and understand which areas of law seem most appealing to us to practice. For that reason, I couldn’t help but strongly advise them to apply for future internship programs.
