Summer Internship

  • Internship within the Legal and Compliance division of Gilead Sciences. Shadowed a plethora of cross-functional meetings with a legal or compliance interest. Experienced firsthand the role of an in-house lawyer within a corporate environment, the collaboration with other business functions, as well as the importance of legal and compliance counseling in all activities, projects and initiatives of a company operating in a very strict and regulated industry, as the Pharmaceutical one. Due to this experience, I have developed an accurate picture of how the legal department is perceived by internal customers and stakeholders, what its responsibilities and obligations are, as well as its significant impact on all aspects of decision making and corporate governance while understanding the way an in-house counsel must combine at the spot different fields of the legal expertise to provide a prompt and holistic input to urgent issues and, mostly, the actual application of the legal knowledge to the co-creation of business strategies and tactical plans.
