She reached out to a top partner at a major international firm, not expecting a response. To her surprise, the partner wrote back within an hour and ended up forwarding her resume to the right person who eventually offered her a job. During her LLM year, Erblina secured a prestigious externship at Wiley Rein LLP by the end of the first semester. She also worked in the international arbitration group of WilmerHale ’s London office. She just moved to Berlin and starts working as an international arbitration attorney.
