south africa: hands on, professional law work experience internship in stunning cape town!
Description :-
This is an excellent law practice of long standing, with a good reputation, and is a great placement. It will give you all-round exposure to life in a South African law practice ... the opportunity to observe, learn and gain excellent experience. The offices are situated at the heart of the bustling city, only a short walk away from the magical Gardens, where you can enjoy your lunch hour under the whispering trees and hand-feed squirrels scampering past… truly idyllic.
Cape Town has everything to offer with its stunning beaches, great surf, penguins, great nightlife and of course Table Mountain! You must go to the top of the mountain ... If you don't fancy climbing it, there is a cable car to take you up in comfort. The city is permanently in the Top Five
Tourist Destinations in the World, and deservedly so. It's beautiful, fascinating, and exciting.
The Law practice where you'll work is one of the biggest in the country and specialises in the following areas:
► Commercial Agreements
► Corporate Law
► Family Law
► Insolvency Law
► Insurance Law
► Labour and Employment Law
► Personal Injury Law
► Property Law and Conveyancing
► Public Interest Law
► Retirement Fund Law
► Sports Law
► Tax and Estate Planning
ACCOMMODATION:
A ten minute walk from the centre of the bustling Cape Town CBD is the quieter, more chilled out area of Green Point. Here we use St Johns Waterfront Lodge, one of the better known backpackers’ lodges for your accommodation. It is not only close to the city, but also to the famous V&A Waterfront (5 min walk) and literally a hop, skip and jump away from the ocean. Among a host of other activities, from here you can visit the world-famous Robben Island by boat, where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner for 27 years!
Your food and accommodation is provided on this project. You'll get a monthly budget for food which is sufficient to cover basic meals, so that you have the choice of doing your own cooking or eating out.
