We are pleased to share a video interview with Felipa Eichel, a dual-degree graduate in Comparative Law and International Relations, reflecting on her experience with the LFN Secondment Programme.
Following an internship with LFN German member firm Haver & Mailänder, Felipa completed secondments with Ibrachy & Dermarkar in Egypt and Burton Partners in New Zealand. Working across different legal systems and cultures broadened her perspective, strengthened her understanding of international legal practice, and reinforced her ambition to pursue an international legal career.
In the interview, Felipa discusses the value of gaining practical cross-border experience, adapting to new legal environments, and developing a global legal mindset. She also shares how the LFN Secondment Programme enabled her to build meaningful professional connections while experiencing legal practice in different jurisdictions.
The LFN Secondment Programme provides young lawyers and law students with the opportunity to gain valuable international experience through placements with member firms across our global network, fostering professional development, cross-border collaboration, and cultural exchange.
Watch the interview below to hear how the LFN Secondment Programme helped shape Felipa’s international legal journey and discover the impact of gaining experience across multiple jurisdictions.
