My Clerkship Diary

This week came with a little bit of everything, IP research, article writing, and a deep dive into international compliance. I’m starting to find my rhythm, and it’s been exciting to see how each task ties into real-world legal and business challenges! From learning more about trademark databases to exploring the nuances of sanctions law, no two days have felt the same.

This week was a really exciting one, filled with both writing and research! I had the chance to take my Ukrainian startup presentation to the next level by turning it into a full article for the International Roundtable, and I also started exploring new opportunities abroad that could lead to future collaborations for Feras. Between refining my first published piece ever and diving into international research, it was a great mix of different opportunities.

This week gave me the chance to look into some really interesting topics! On one hand, I wrapped up outreach research tied to Istanbul’s academic community, finishing an excel sheet of law professors at top law schools in the area. On the other hand, I started learning about the Amazon APEX program, an alternative route for patent enforcement! Each project helped me to sharpen my research skills while also deepening my understanding of how legal knowledge connects to real-world business needs!

‍

I started the week by meeting with Yasmin and Ghallia for our first debrief conversation and we decided to start doing these weekly! It was such a fun and productive check in, and I’m excited to keep the momentum going. Following this meeting, the rest of the week was a great mix of creativity and deeper research! I had the chance to kick off a new project for the All-Teams meeting next week and dive into some legal analysis around AI and state-specific laws. It felt like everything I’ve been working on this summer is starting to connect in meaningful ways, and I really enjoyed getting to apply what I’ve learned across different types of projects.

This week felt like a turning point in my summer experience. From wrapping up a creative project that brought together so many of the skills I’ve built, to attending the All-Hands Meeting and diving into upcoming projects, I was able to reflect on how much I’ve learned, and how excited I am for what’s next. Each task this week gave me a deeper understanding of both the legal work we do and the collaborative, fast-paced environment that makes Lloyd & Mousilli so dynamic. I left this week feeling more confident in my voice, more connected to the firm’s broader mission, and even more motivated to contribute meaningfully in the weeks ahead.

‍

The past week brought a great blend of research and connection. I had the chance to dig into some complex international developments, while also spending time with colleagues in both formal and informal settings. Between outlining content for the firm’s new Damascus section, joining exciting external meetings, and catching up with team members, it felt like an extremely well-rounded week!
