In a recent episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Grace Robbie speaks with Daphne Fong, a recent law graduate from UNSW and a graduate lawyer at King & Wood Mallesons, about the ins and outs of her recent European exchange, reflects on the professional skills she developed from learning in a global classroom, shares the personal growth she experienced from stepping outside her comfort zone, and delves into the invaluable experience of collaborating with law students from across the world.

This content is available exclusively to Lawyers Weekly premium members.
Fong also highlights how the experience has positioned her strongly for the next stage of her legal career, offers a roadmap for law students hoping to follow a similar path, outlines the practical steps needed to turn the idea of an international exchange into a reality, and encourages students who may be unsure about studying abroad to take the leap and embrace the experience.
