"This program not only prepares our team with valuable professional skills but also reinforces our commitment to innovation in legal education. By utilizing virtual reality technology, we are shaping the future of legal training in a dynamic and engaging way," said Nick Swinburne, partner responsible for Professional Development and head of Milbank’s Transportation and Space Group in London. “We are very proud to offer this scientifically-backed, immersive learning program in London,” remarked Tom Canning, co-managing partner of the London office. “The blending of technology with the development of critical professional competencies presents an invaluable opportunity for our trainees and apprentices,” added Andrej Wolf, co-managing partner of the London office.
