State - Detroit attorney off to England on internship with international firm

Jennifer Gasiecki, an attorney with the Detroit based firm of Blake, Kirchner, Symonds, Larson, Kennedy & Smith, PC, will fulfill a career goal of studying international law, as she embarks on a six week internship with the international law firm of Pinsent Masons on June 28, 2010. Gasiecki was awarded the internship after competing in her second Association for Corporate Growth Detroit Chapter Cup, a competition for Masters in Business Administration (MBA) Students last Spring. Gasiecki, who completed her undergraduate studies at University of Detroit Mercy and then obtained her law degree at Penn State University, is currently attending Walsh College in Troy where she hopes to earn a dual MBA and Masters of Science in Finance. This past Spring, the Detroit attorney representing Walsh competed in her second consecutive ACG Detroit Cup, and though she was disappointed her team did not win the 2010 competition, she did successfully earn the internship offered by Pinsent Masons besting 14 other Cup competitors who applied. "I have to thank my firm for allowing me a six week sabbatical, because without this consideration I would not have been able to partake in this amazing opportunity. I am just hoping to learn as much as I can, soak in the English culture and network," Gasiecki, a resident of Waterford and native of Troy said. "Since, I am the lead attorney on some business at our firm, my firm was very cooperative in giving me the time off for this once in a lifetime experience. With the time difference and emails, I may have to do some double duty but it will be worth it." According to Gasiecki, ACG Detroit Cup competition is extremely valuable to MBA students and offers real world experience and she highly recommends it to anyone studying for their MBA or interested in private investment banking. While Gasiecki was disappointed that her Walsh College Team did not win the 2010 ACG Detroit Cup, she is excited about interning with Pinsent Masons, one of the Top 100 International Law firms in the world and the 15th largest firm in England. "It will be a wonderful professional and personal experience," she said. Additional information is available at www.acg.org/detroit . Published: Thu, Jul 1, 2010
