Micha Rudin ELSA Switzerland trainee at ILF Integrites, Ukraine When I arrived in Kyiv, I was overwhelmed by the infinite hospitality of the members of the ELSA. While working for ILF Integrites, I was responsible for preparing analyses on various topics of corporate, commercial and tax law, and performing researches on business structuring and international tax planning. After all, working for Integrites was a rewarding experience to the biggest extent and I want to thank everybody for making this undertaking possible. In a nutshell, my STEP was about two months of true happiness. Having a chance to work with highly professional people in the atmosphere of mutual respect, comfort and support; to attend the lectures by outstanding lawyers and professors; to enjoy the very Estonian traditional buildings with colorful doors and windows balanced with modern architecture on my walk to the office; to travel to Lithuania, Georgia and Sweden in one week; to gain experience of leaving in international community; to feel ELSA support in any case needed – all of these is merely a part of my STEP experience. ” ” Kateryna Shokalo ELSA Ukraine trainee at IT Law Programme, University of Tartu, Estonia Student Trainee Exchange Programme
