Derry solicitor completes one-week internship with Serbian firm

Enya Hood

A newly-qualified solicitor from Derry has completed a one-week internship with a Serbian law firm as part of an international initiative organised by AVRIO Advocati.

Enya Hood, a solicitor with Caldwell & Robinson Solicitors, recently spent a week with Živković Samardžić in Belgrade.

The internship was organised by AVRIO Advocati, a European-based network of law firms covering most major European cities as well as several cities in North America, South America, Australia and the Far East.

Its objectives are to exchange professional know-how, to foster legal co-operation and to refer client matters to trusted international colleagues.

Speaking about her experience, Ms Hood said: “My time in the Živković Samardžić office was an invaluable experience.

“During my time there, I had the opportunity to shadow various partners and associates, gaining an insight into their varied caseload.

“This was not only a chance for me to see how legal challenges are dealt with in another jurisdiction, but it also allowed me to network and connect with colleagues on a personal level, something which I know will benefit me greatly as I progress through my career.

“What impressed me most about the Živković Samardžić team was their knowledge and ability when dealing with complex, multi-jurisdictional matters, which made it a very interesting office to visit.”
