Firstly, the best thing about this firm is its Library.
It has a library with vast and great collection of law books.
Secondly, the associates were very understanding.
During the end of my internship I fell sick and was admitted to the hospital, so I couldn’t come to collect my certificate.
I informed them about my ill health and they were really kind enough to courier it to me along with the cheque.
Thirdly, they gave plenty of time to finish the work and they explained very clearly.
