Feedback of Ujan Borman

Greetings,

I am Ujan Borman, a legal intern from the University of Engineering and Management, Kolkata; presently I’m in 3rd year (6thSEM) pursuing BBALLB honoursand I hope this message finds you well. I'd want to take this chance to say how appreciative I am for the priceless knowledge and professional development I acquired while serving as an intern at S. Jalan & Co. As my internship, lasted from June 5 to July 1, 2023 (4 weeks), draws to an end, I want to express my opinions and solicit feedback on the whole experience.
My internship objectives were to increase my knowledge of the legal process in a professional setting, as well as my proficiency in translating legal materials and conducting legal research while also developing my knowledge of legal jargon and document formatting. My sincere gratitude goes out to Trishita Ma'am,Shruti Ma'am, Ayan Sir, Abhishek Sir &Snehasis Sir for their assistance and for addressing all of my task-related questions. The collaborative method used to complete the assignments is the feature of their work that I believe to be really beneficial.
I drafted BNA (Brief Notes on Arguments), Questionnaires, a List of Dates, a Joint Compromise application, an RTI, and an Attornment letter & researched various judgments and legal topics which helped me in honing my legal skills. Also, I visited various courts which helped me in understanding the practical application & intricacies of the law.
My expectations were beyond my satisfaction level. The first thing I noticed about the office was that everything was made for the employee’s comfort. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant, and it was a welcoming working ambience. They were eager to share their knowledge with me, forgiving of my mistakes, and always gave me interesting assignments.
All the associates of the firm, as well as the CEO & HR ma’am, were very helpful.They helped me with all my queries and helped me to solve all my problems. With them, office work does not seem dull and routine because they are all genuinely nice, fascinating, and diverse individuals.This is the place for you if you are prepared to learn, ready for challenging requirements, and ready to handle criticism well. This internship is not for people who only want to pass it to look good and get a spot on the sidelines.
I owe a debt of gratitude to the Managing Partner, Sourav sir, associates and the entire staff of S Jalan & Co. for giving me this priceless chance.Together with the supportive work environment, the real-world experiences I had during my internship helped me to develop my legal expertise while also igniting a strong interest in the legal field.
