Overview
The first day of the scheme consisted of various talks, ranging from an introduction delivered by a partner to more interactive 'Inside the Headlines' talks. In addition, we got the chance to participate in an interactive ADR exercise, having a go at mediation and negotiation. The second day involved talks from the pro bono team and another case study, as well as the chance to shadow a trainee for the afternoon.
Skills
I have gained a much better understanding of areas of commercial law I previously had little familiarity with, such as TMT. In addition, I have developed my negotiation skills through the interactive workshop.
Business Insight
The graduate recruitment team delivered an excellent presentation on the range of opportunities available, which helped to make it really clear what potential roles are available.
Culture
Compared to similar commercial firms, I found the atmosphere at HSF the most welcoming and friendly. I also felt like they had a genuine commitment to Diversity and Equality - which made the culture feel very inclusive.
Your Impressions
I throughly enjoyed the insight and hope to interact more with the firm in the future.
Yes
They seem to care about you as a person - so make your application as personal as possible.
