Reff & Associates | Deloitte Legal launches a new edition of the educational project "Law Is Awesome!", designed specifically for third-year law students who wish to understand what practicing law and business consultancy entails.

At the end of the workshop period, students will receive personalized recommendations from trainers, and some of them will be selected for an internship in the summer of 2024.
