The microphone was 'off' for a little while during the summer holidays but we are back with a special episode of the podcast 'Small Talk Big Firm' as it marks the closing episode of the first season. On 'The Buddy Experience' two associates of the Liedekerke law firm, Ruben Dewulf and Sam Niyonzima share their experiences both about when they were new joiners in need of some guidance in a new working environment as well as when they take on the 'buddy' role within the firm. Some interesting insights and best practices are exchanged so grab that cup of coffee or tea and listen to their wise words!

With this tenth episode (already 🙂), we are closing the first season of 'Small Talk Big Firm' that was particularly directed to law students, graduates and professionals. 

In two weeks from now we will share an unreleased earlier episode that summarizes various topics that have been discussed in this first season. 

Podcast hosts Arno Verbuyst and Leïla Mourali are very enthusiastic with the preparation of the second season... suspense.

In this particular episode, Arno Verbuyst and Leïla Mourali hand over the mic to law graduate Omar Arab who talks about his personal experience as a summer intern at Liedekerke. 

Why is it important to perform at least one practical internship during the law education? What can you expect from it? And Omar also shares about his personal track to becoming a lawyer which he defines as being a call since day one.

Next we'll talk about the 'buddy experience' as all our students and new joiners are guided within the firm by a personal 'buddy'. How does the buddy take on this responsibility? You'll hear all about it in our next episode.
